Assignment

Recommended Summer Practice for Incoming 7th Graders

All Students:

  • Work on fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with Decimals and Fractions. This includes calculating with Mixed Numbers too. 
  • Simplify Numerical Expressions using order of operations, including examples with positive Exponents.
  • Continue to strengthen your skills in solving Ratio, Rate, and Percent problems.

Accelerated Math 7 Students:

In addition to skills mentioned above, also focus on calculating with Integers and solving One- and Two-Step Equations with ease. 

 

Building fluency means that you are able to work with ease on these types of problems and consistently reach the correct answers.  This takes time and practice.  Set a goal to practice these foundational skills for at least 10 minutes each day.  You will be amazed at the progress you will make over the summer!

You may continue to use your IXL account during the summer.  Search for the topics above in either the Grade 6 or Grade 7 sections.

  •      Students in Accelerated Math 6 should be able to fluently calculate with integers (positive and negative whole numbers). Select practice in the 7th grade area called “Operations with Integers” (C.3, C.5, C.7) to hone your skills.

Practice for the CAASPP Tests: In the spring, students will take the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in Math and Language Arts.  Practicing the released questions helps you to know how the questions will be asked and what kinds of questions will appear.  Go to http://www.caaspp.org/practice-and-training/ and click on the green box (Student Interface) to find the sample tests and tasks. Click through the pre-filled “Guest” pages, choose “Grade 6” and  then select a practice test.

Review What You Have Learned: Look over your class notes and Unit Assessments to review the concepts that we have learned so far this year.  These concepts are Unit 1: Ratios, Rates, & Conversions, Unit 2: Percent, Unit 3: Integers,  Unit 4: Graphing on the Coordinate Plane; and Unit 5: Rational Numbers – Decimals (this is our current unit). 

  •      There are a lot of online videos that you could watch. One website that is very popular for instructional videos and extra practice is The Khan Academy. http://www.khanacademy.org/
  •      Check the CCMS website (ccms.ccusd.org), and specifically Mrs. Bergonzi’s page, for additional practice opportunities. Redo previous homework assignments, or scroll down the posts and look for a wide-variety of practice websites and handouts to complete.

Percents Are All Around Us!

Percentages are a very important part of our world. They are used in sports, science, cooking, health & fitness, medicine, and many other areas.

Here are some interesting percentages:

- It is estimated that only 2% of the world’s population has green colored eyes.

- A wild giant panda’s diet is almost exclusively (99%) bamboo.

- There are some ice creams that are 75% air.

- Last year, the Dodgers won 56% of their games.

Do a little research and come up with 2 more examples that we can add to the list above. Be creative! Find interesting statistics that involve the use of percentages.

NOTE  TO PARENTS:

This week we will complete our second formative assessment in math class (Goal Problems #2) related to solving ratio problems. This is NOT part of a student's math grade, but scores will be entered on Aeries to show students and parents how well the student is performing on this specific learning target. The assessment will be returned to students on Thurs/Fri and can be used as a study guide for improvement. 

Scores:

4: Student work shows a solid understanding of ratio concepts.

3: Student work shows a good understanding of ratio concepts. The student may have made minor errors, or needs practice in working on problems that have fractional parts.

2:  Student work shows some understanding of ratio concepts. The student needs more practice (See online options below and/or come to PAWs on Thursday)

1: Student work shows little understanding of ratio concepts. The student needs help and more practice (See online options below and come to PAWs on Thursday)

Students who have earned scores below a “3” could build their understanding of ratios by:

1) View the short videos below and try the practice problems.

Visualize Ratios on Khan Academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-ratios-rates/pre-algebra-visualize-ratios/e/ratios-with-double-number-lines

2) Students will be receiving their math textbooks on Thurs/Fri, Sept 7th or 8th during math class time. These books come in TWO volumes and are paperback, consumable texts.  

It may be helpful for students to bring a separate bag to school on Thurs/Fri to help in carrying the books home. The 2 books are bulky and will not likely fit in backpacks that are already full. 

Students will be able to KEEP these books and write directly in them. We will not be using the books during class time, so books should remain at home.

Students should feel free to use the books at ANY TIME for extra practice and review of skills. The problems in the textbook can be used as a nice supplement to our daily homework assignments.

Due:

Assignment

1) Bring in recommended materials to class (see class syllabus handout)
2) Highlight statements on the class syllabus that indicate ways that will help you to be successful in math class this year.
