Students and Parents,

Students entering 8th-grade Pre-AP Algebra 1 may have a few gaps in their prior content knowledge. While these gaps typically do not prevent students from being successful in the course, we want to ensure the transition into Pre-AP Algebra 1 is as smooth as possible.

To support students, Dr. Stitts, our district STEM specialist, has created an optional “Summer Learning Packet” designed to reinforce key concepts and address potential gaps in understanding. Although completion of the packet is encouraged, it is not required.

Below, you will find a document outlining the concepts students will be learning, along with links to the corresponding lesson videos located directly beneath each title.

Students will bring home both Volume One and Volume Two of the 8th-grade curriculum on May 13 and 14. These materials will be needed to complete the optional Summer Learning Packet.

Here is the link to the lesson videos:

If your child will not be returning to MacArthur before the end of the school year, please let me know so we can make arrangements for you to pick up their workbooks.

Have a great summer!

Mrs. Shepherd
