Incoming 8th Grader non-honors pre-algebra math students are expected to know the topics listed below at the start of the course. Consequently, summer math reviews these topics. Summer Math - consists solely of review lessons from 7th Grade Pre-Algebra and grade school math that are critical to being able to be successful in 8th Grade Pre-Algebra. As these are prerequisite skills practiced in former classes, summer math is graded as a project and will be the students' first math grade for the quarter. Completing the Delta Math summer math is required. Understanding the topics in summer math is key to getting a good start in math this school year.

Begin the assignment, writing down the title of the section you are working on, writing the problem and showing your work. There are 5 timed sections in the assignment. These 5 timed sections do NOT need to be written down.
What to turn-in:
On the first day of school submit your clearly labeled and organized work with your name on it. Points will be deducted if it is not clearly labeled and organized. If all work is completed in DeltaMath by the first day of school, but your paper with all problems worked out with answers is not submitted or your submitted paper only contains the problems with answers and no work shown, then the highest score you can earn is a 50%.
