6th to 7th Grade Summer Math Practice
Franklin Public Schools
Franklin, MA
June 2018
Dear Student and Family,
Franklin Middle School students participate in a summer math review program to help
them retain previously learned math skills and concepts, thus leading to a successful
transition to 7thgrade math classes.
Our goal is for each student to feel comfortable and confident as they start their 7th
grade year. Students may choose one of two options for math summer practice. The
options are:
Option 1: Students have access to their IXL online accounts throughout the summer.
Foundational skills in preparation for 7th grade studies will be assigned to them for
practice. Read directions and information about the IXL program here: IXL parent letter.
Since our goal is retention, we suggest students review these skills gradually over the
summer. Here is the link to the IXL skills review: 6th to 7th IXL Skill review
Option 2: Posted on each school’s webpage is a link to a summer math packet of problems
aligned to the Common Core Math Standards and which are essential foundational skills
in preparation for 7thgrade math studies.
If a student chooses the summer packet option we ask that they print a copy of the
packet, complete the problems and return the packet to their 7th grade math teacher
by Sept. 10, 2018. Printed copies of the packet will be available at the office of each
middle school.
If a student chooses the IXL option, their teacher has access to this data via the online
instructional program.
Additionally, we have attached a list of online resources which students can reference
for review. These resources include: videos, model problems, interactive games, additional
worksheets.
We thank families in advance for your support of this important summer math review.
Please let us know if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Motte, Brian Wildeman, Beth Wittcoff
