It is important for students to not let their math skills wander out of their long term memory. In the fall the Junior High Math teachers will not review basic skills to a great degree. Therefore, teachers have created a summer math packet for students that will enable them to practice the skills that they will need next school year. Students will probably need to refer to their notes or workbook to recall the information for some of the material. This is a mandatory assignment.
Completed packet is due Friday August 27, 2010.
There will be a late penalty for packets not turned in on time.
You may use a calculator. (Make sure your answer makes sense.)
You must show your work. There will be a penalty for not showing your work.
This packet is worth 550 points.
Make sure answers are in simplest form.
Write your answers on the answer sheet where indicated.
