The purpose of the Hallie Wells Middle School Summer Math Program is to encourage students to explore mathematics in a global context in order to assist them in their journey to becoming enduring mathematicians and thinkers. Research states that daily at home engagement in math concepts, high expectations, and guardian involvement (including discussing mathematics) help promote lifelong independent thinkers. We also are committed to helping students transition back to the building and assist with learning loss. We have highlighted some important math skills and standards that will set students up for success next year.

Click on the link that matches the math class you will be taking next year. Try to complete a minimum of 8 of the tasks on the MATH-O board. We encourage you to challenge yourself by completing a straight row or diagonal, but if you need to jump around you may. When the tasks are complete, have a parent or guardian sign off in the box to confirm completion. Please bring your signed MATH-O board and completed evidence (writings, reflections, etc...) to Mrs. Shah by 9/3/21. Two students from each grade will receive a free ice cream certificate from Jimmie Cone.

We challenge families to promote a Growth Mindset in Mathematics at home. Please support us by consistently sending the following key messages:

1. Everyone can learn math.

2. Mistakes are valuable.

3. Questions are really important.

4. Math is about creativity and making sense.

5. Math is about connections and communicating.

6. Math class is about learning.

7. Depth is more important than speed.
