Dear Parents and Guardians of Rising 7th Graders,



8th Grade Summer Math Project Dear Rising 8th Grade Students and Families,We are looking forward to working with you next year and have developed a summer assignment to help you prepare for success. As you advance in your math career, the focus shifts to more complex problem solving that requires you to combine multiple skills and concepts within a single problem. Students who have their basic computational skills mastered consistently outperform those students who do not. Over the summer, you need to make sure that you have the following mathematical facts mastered/memorized:Multiplication of integers from -12 to 12 (see tables on next page)Perfect Squares and Square Roots from 1 to 15 (see tables on next page)Perfect Cubes and Cube Roots from 1 to 10 (see tables on next page)On the first 3 Fridays of the school year, students will be given 100 questions and will have 3 minutes to answer 100% of them correctly. The number correct out of 100 after 3 minutes will be the student’s score on this formal assessment. Students will have 3 attempts to earn up to 100. After the 3rd attempt on Friday, September 11, students will be allowed to re-test during teacher help sessions through the end of Q1 to earn up to the maximum re-test grade as stated in the 2015-2016 grading policy. A practice test is provided at the end of this document.Students are expected to prepare for this assessment over the summer. We wish you a wonderful summer and appreciate your support in preparing for a successful 8th grade experience!Sincerely,Ms. Callahan, Ms. Delery, and Ms. LambHelpful websites: rules:(Positive #)(Positive #) = Positive #Example: (4)(6) = 24(Negative #)(Negative #) = Positive #Example: (-3)(-5) = 15(Positive #)(Negative #) = Negative #Example: (7)(-2) = -14(Negative #)(Positive #) = Negative #Example: (-8)(9) = -72Perfect Squares12=122=432=942=1652=2562=3672=4982=6492=81102=100112=121122=144132=169142=196152=225Square Roots√1=1√4=2√9=3√16=4√25=5√36=6√49=7√64=8√81=9√100=10√121=11√144=12√169=13√196=14√225=15Perfect Cubes13=123=833=2743=6453=12563=21673=34383=51293=729103=1000Cube Roots31 =138 =2327 =3364 =43125 =53216 =63343 =73512 =83729 =931000 =10Name: _______________________SUMMER MATH PRACTICE TEST (3 minute time limit)11 x 12 = 73 =62 = QUOTE 3125 3125 =112 =-4 x -9 =√100 =-7 x 8 =31000 =-1 x -4 =- 12 x 11 =-1 x 9 =√36 =3216 =12 x -12 =92 =8 x 2 =3 x 8 =-5 x 3 =3512 =93 =-9 x 4 =52 =√4 =5 x 9 =10 x 12 =2 x -10 =-2 x 11 =9 x 7 =-8 x 9 =38=9 x 2 =-4 x -4 =72 =√49 =7 x 12 =√121 =6 x 3 =63 =53 =3 x -9 =142 =4 x 5 =6 x 8 =327 =-2 x 10 =9 x -8 =7 x -9 =-4 x -12 =364 =√144 =82 =83 =33 =6 x 4 =10 x 4 =√196 =5 x 4 =42 =√225 =6 x – 11 =√64 =7 x -4 =10 x 10 =103 =1 x -12 =9 x 12 =152 =6 x 7 =102 =8 x -5 =9 x -9 =7 x 5 =√169 =√9 =6 x -4 =8 x 8 =32 =8 x 6 =√25 =12 x 8 = 2 x 7 =9 x -6 =3 x 11 =122 =3343 =23 =4 x -2 =3729 =7 x 3 =-12 x 10 =13 =43 =√16 =4 x 10 =132 =√81 =31 =22 =-3 x -4 = ................
