Kittredge School | School website



Dear students (and parents), It’s almost summer! Before we go, I’m suggesting some math work for you to complete over the summer. The goal of these activities is to have fun and review the concepts you learned in 4th grade. You will be completing certain sections of the 4th grade math section on the website IXL (). The section list is on the following page. You should have received your user name from me on Step Up Day. If you forgot it or have any problems logging in, please email me (katiebrad@). Everyone’s password is kittredge (lowercase). Please complete the list of IXL review topics to a SmartScore of at least 70, though 100 is generally the goal and 90 is enough to feel like you have mastered the skill. The idea is that you will spend some time each week sharpening your math skills. You should feel free to discuss your work with your parents. Math discussions are an important way for students to remember and retain concepts. Mathematical discussion strengthens reasoning skills. Oftentimes the best learning happens when you work with someone to share ideas and collaboratively work In addition, something as simple as playing “war” or cribbage will also improve your number sense, addition skills and number recognition. Other fun math games are Prime Climb, Blokus, Tenzi and Zoom. Feel free to send an email letting me know how things are going. I’m looking forward to an exciting year of math with you next year! -Katie(katiebrad@)HELPFUL HINTS: If you are trying to figure out how often or how much work you should do this summer, please remember that it depends from person to person. If you are someone who struggles “getting back in the groove” in the fall each year, then do yourself a favor and put in a little time each week to keep your math skills and understanding fresh in your mind. My general suggestion to most of you is this: sit down every week this summer for either a 45 minute block or two 30 minute blocks to mindfully work on math. This time suggestion doesn't mean that you start the timer before you get some scratch paper or sharpen a pencil or turn on the computer. It means, once you are ready, then start the timer. If you feel that you need a break, then don't attempt to work for 45 minutes at a time, just know that the two 30 minute blocks is a better fit for you.
