Summer Math Assignments
PLEASE NOTE: Students should complete the assignment for the course they are taking for the 2020-21 school year. For example, if the student is taking algebra 1 this coming school year, the student should complete the algebra 1 summer homework assignment.
All students are required to complete a summer math assignment. The summer math assignments are available on this webpage:
http://powerscatholicmath.weebly.com/ To access the summer assignments, scroll down to the appropriate course in which you are enrolled for the Fall. Please click on the link to download your summer math assignment. If you do not have a printer, consider visiting your public library to print.
The completion of the summer assignment is required. The assignment will be collected the first day of school. The problem sets in the summer assignment were specifically selected to reinforce the foundational skills and understandings you will need for successful completion of your next math course. Your math teacher will be building upon these skills in August. Completion of the practice exercises in this assignment will therefore help ensure that you will be ready. If you are unsure how to proceed with a given topic, feel free to use your textbook, ask an older sibling or parent for assistance, or seek help from a friend who is confident with the material.
You may need to do some of the problems on a separate sheet of paper, or graph paper, in order to effectively show your work. We encourage you to write each problem on a separate piece of paper, show your work in pencil, and circle your answer. Your teacher will begin in August with a brief review of the content and skills covered by this assignment. This review will be followed by either a major test or a series of smaller quizzes to sample your mastery of this material. These assessments will be counted as part of your first marking period grade. Completion of the assignment will help prepare you for these assessments. This is an excellent opportunity to begin your year with a high test or quiz score. You have seen all this material before and have the entire summer to complete the assignment. We recommend that you complete your summer homework assignment during August so that you are fully prepared to begin your math class.
If you have questions, feel free to email Ms. Schuler at lschuler@powerscatholic.org.
Best wishes for a fun, restful, and productive summer.
Sincerely,
The Mathematics Department
