Dear Incoming Grade 8 Students,To better prepare for Grade 8 mathematics entry process, summer work is assigned to ensure an easier transition into your next math course. The expectation is that all students bring the completed assignment to their first math class in the Fall 2013. If you need help completing the problems, you have a couple of options:Visit links to examples, explanations, and instructional videos provided in the packet473773512255500Use the copy of the textbooks available at the Duxbury Free Library. A TI-83(plus)/84(plus) graphing calculator will be necessary to complete the calculator section. All Grade 8 mathematics courses will use of this type of calculator. Therefore, it is essential that every student obtain one.Please keep in mind that non-calculator problems need to be completed without the use of any type of calculator. All answers must be justified by showing all work.-22326601050290What Problems do I have to do?Please allow enough time over the summer to complete the following sections of the packet.00What Problems do I have to do?Please allow enough time over the summer to complete the following sections of the packet.Your Class Next YearCourse #Complete These SectionsPre Algebra 282AHonors Algebra 281BDAccelerated Algebra 1 280BCDGrade 7 Topics Mastered Prior to Grade 8:Ratios and Proportional Relationships?
