=Summer Math Packets = This site contains links to download and print Summer Math Packets. These packets have a dual purpose. They were created to be used by students who are skipping a level of math, but they can also be used by students who wish to review math concepts that were covered during the 2011-2012 school year. Please see the appropriate section below for more information. The packet for each level contains: Kids' Information Page, Parents' Information Page, Textbook Navigation Page (instructions for accessing the online math textbook), and worksheets for selected objectives. Each worksheet includes an explanation of a particular skill, examples, and practice problems. Parents can obtain answer keys in the CMS front office or request one by email: nancy.stamatako@fcps.org

=**For Students skipping a level math:** = Mathematics is a cumulative discipline which means that each course builds upon previously learned concepts, incorporating more rigor and higher levels of complexity. Because students who are jumping a level are essentially skipping an entire year of the middle school math curriculum, it is essential that students maintain a firm foundation upon which to build. These summer math packets were created to address key concepts from that curriculum that will help to prepare students for a higher level math class in the coming school year.

__NEW "Algebra Prep" - for students in 6 Honors or 7 Merit going to Algebra in the Fall__
In order to better prepare students for Algebra, this packet has been revised this year, and a database of electronic resources has been created to support students as they work through the packets. Each student who is skipping the Pre-Algebra curriculum and going straight to Algebra next year will receive a hard copy of the math packet at school, and teachers will assist students in getting started. The packet itself is comprised of Glencoe materials. There is one page (2-sided) for each of the identified skills that will help prepare students for Algebra. Each page in the packet is associated with a list of electronic resources in the form of tutorials, videos, and online interactive practice. =** For students who wish to review: **= Mathematics is a cumulative discipline which means that each course builds upon previously learned concepts, incorporating more rigor and higher levels of complexity. Mastery of math concepts and skills taught at each level of mathematics is critical to ensure a solid foundation for the next level of curriculum.
