Over the next two months, you will choose of the math assignments below. I will be checking in with you periodically as I monitor your progress. I would also like for you to email me once in a while to let me know how you are doing. What challenges have you faced? What concepts were fun for you? What do you want to improve? What new topics are you excited to learn about?
Option #1 - Khan Academy
You have all created a Khan Academy account and have added me as your coach. This summer you will be completing 25% MORE of your mission. This means you should be mastering 25 skills within the two months of summer break. 25% is just the minimum! Feel free to practice more! It will be more exercise for your brain.
Be sure to challenge yourself any time you can so that you are ready to hit the ground running in September!
Option #2 - Workbook
You may choose a math workbook that you think will best suit your skills (7th grade students should get 6th grade workbooks). If you are having trouble choosing a workbook, below are a few suggestions.
7th grade:
Singapore Math Review, Spectrum Math for Grade 6 OR Spectrum Math for 6-8
8th grade:
For SHSAT: Kaplan SHSAT Prep book OR Barron's New York City SHSAT Prep book
For ISEE/SSAT: Kaplan ISEE/SSAT Prep book
You will hand these workbooks to Sophie at the start of the year in September.
