TIPS and SUPPORT
If your child needs additional support with the some of the topics in the summer math packet, here are some references:
(1) Google Classroom - Your child may be able to access the Google Classroom from their math teacher last year. There may be references there.
(2) Ready Classroom - Math workbooks were sent home at the end of the school year in June. Your child can also access the digital version of the workbook by logging into iReady and choosing "Bookshelf" on the bottom. The bookshelf has the pages from the workbook and a section called "My Videos" with instructional videos.
(3) Math Antics - website with short instructional videos modeling examples on most topics
(4) Check your answers - See the last page of the packet for an answer key!
Please reach out to Heather Rigatti at hrigatti@rsd17.org with any questions.
Multiplication and Division Facts
It is crucial that students know their multiplication and division facts for middle school. Fluency frees up their working memory so they can devote it to problems solving and learning new concepts and skills.
See the reference below for ideas. Here's a great one - https://www.timestables.com/
Please practice your facts at home!
