Summer Math Packet for Rising 7th Graders

Dear Rising 7th Grade,

Congratulations on finishing 6th Grade - we hope you are looking forward to a wonderful summer!

Among many other goals we have for you next year, we hope to build upon and extend your progress in
mathematics so that you will be confidently prepared to take Algebra in 8th Grade. With this in mind, we would
ask that you complete this math packet over the summer in an effort to keep your skills sharp so that you can hit
the ground running in September.

This packet contains 100 questions and is broken into 5 different sections that correspond to the Massachusetts
Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks that you studied in 6th Grade:

1. Ratios and Proportional Relationships

2. The Number System
3. Expressions and Equations
4. Geometry
5. Statistics and Probability

It is our hope that you work on this packet gradually over the course of the summer, rather than waiting until the
end of August or doing it all at the beginning of July. You can break it up by section or by numbers of questions
if you wish, i.e. 1 section every 2 weeks, 10 questions per week, etc. If broken up and done gradually, the
packet should be extremely manageable. You do not want to find yourself in the last week of summer
scrambling to finish 100 problems so please plan accordingly.

There is also an Answer Key to this packet which students should use to correct their work. Please disregard the
welcome letter on the first page… 

Completed packets are due the first day of school and they will count toward your first Trimester grade.
Additionally, there will be a quiz on this material after students have had a chance to ask questions about
anything they are still confused about. You may use additional paper to work on problems if you do not have
enough space within the packet.

Please do your best work.

We hope you have a relaxing and safe summer and we look forward to meeting all of you in the fall! 

Sincerely,
The Gates 7th Grade Math Teachers
