Summer Math Fun: Going into Grade 7
Dear Student and Family,
You have learned so much in math this year! It is important to keep practicing your mathematical knowledge during the summer to be ready to enter your next grade. In this packet you will find short and fun math activities that will help you review and maintain math skills learned throughout this past year.
This summer math review is a calendar for the months of July and August. All you have to do is follow the daily calendar and complete at least three of the activities per week, every week. Keep a notebook with all your work. Hand your work into your teacher during the first week of school.
The list of websites below are places you can go to further practice and improve your math skills and get ready for the challenge of next school year!
This site is like an amusement park for math. There are lots of things for children to explore and problems to solve.
Webmath is a math-help web site that generates answers to specific math questions and problems, as entered by a user, at any particular moment. This site has family activities, math help and much more.
Your children will love the free educational games, while Sumdog's learning engine ensures they work on the important skills.
LearnZillion is a learning platform that combines video lessons, assessments, and progress reporting. Each
lesson highlights a Common Core standard, starting with math in grades 3-9.
Ixl is a great site for fun interactive games and math practice focused by grade or standard.
Enjoy your summer and keep your skills sharp!
