15 June 2017 Rising Eighth Graders and their Parents: I have attached 7 sheets which the students can use to review material covered in 7t grade math and toprepare for the early part of 8 grade. They can expect a test on this study sheet within the first week of 8 grade. The 7 worksheets are copies of the Chapter Standardized Tests(Chapters 1-7)from the 7h gradetextbook.The students already did these during the year(as we reviewed each chapter),so they shouldall be review.I include them here so they can use them to review what they learned in 7ᵗgrade and thinkabout the lessons we discussed about taking standardized tests(which may prove helpful when they takethe HSPT in December). I expect each of these 7 worksheets willtake approximately one hour to complete(this is an average-itwill vary with each worksheet and with each student).Students should plan their time accordingly. These 7 worksheets must be completed over the summer and turned in during the first math classin 8"grade.As always,I encourage students to show all work for each problem and to do their workneatly and legibly on a separate piece of paper.This packet will be graded and entered as the student'sfirst “class work”grade(so,it will count as a quiz). Please note that this is a minimum requirement.Students who want to prepare more thoroughly for 8hgrade math can study ahead.FYI,at the beginning of 8hgrade,we will cover chapters 6,7,and the firsthalf of Chapter 9 of the Pre-Algebra textbook(the same textbook we used in 7"grade)before starting theAlgebra I textbook.I will not check that they have done this nor will I collect anything,but lookingahead may be a good way to anticipate what is coming and to prepare for it. Beyond this summer packet,I also encouraged the students to prepare for the High School Placement Test(HSPT)in December.I discussed two options with the students:They can get a practice book for theCatholic High School Entrance Exams and use it to practice for the HSPT.Additionally,we are offeringa summer HSPT prep course.While I recommend both of these,I will not collect anything or check thatthey do either of them.If they have questions about any problems they encounter during their preparationfor the HSPT,they are welcome to ask me at an extra help session after we return. I hope the students enioved their 7hgrade vear and are excited about their 8hgrade vear.I've gathered 7worksheets and written this note with the intent of helping them retain what they learned in 7"grade andto help them prepare for the new school year.If you have any questions or concerns,please contact me atschool.
