6th grade to 7th grade Math Summer Packet

Dear Students and Parents,

This summer, we encourage you to continue to practice your mathematics at home. Practicing math skills over the
summer can keep the brain’s pathways for computation and mathematical vocabulary strong.

Please make sure to follow the suggested directions for the best outcomes:

1. Do NOT use a calculator. Take time to “grow your brain” and practice your math facts.

2. Show all work! If you get an answer incorrect, it helps to go back to your work and find the step that led to your
error.

3. Be neat and organized! Part of success in math is being able to organize your work and keep track of your
calculations and steps. Use all the paper necessary to neatly show your work.

4. Box your final answers (another organizational strategy).

5. Do not rush! Take advantage of the summer pace and see if you digest more of what you’re working on.

6. If you are stuck on a problem, read the example problems provided at the beginning of each exercise. If you’re
still stuck, check out one of the math websites listed below.

Resources:

For help with a topic: www.purplemath.com and select 6th grade on the left hand column, then select the topic from the
top.

For Math Fact Practice: www.aplusmath.com and select flash cards. You can switch the operation and difficulty each
time.

More suggestions:

If you have a cellular phone, there are free math apps that your child can play on and build their math skills. There are
many out there.

 Multiplying Fractions
When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators, then multiply the denominators and then reduce if necessary.

Multiply and then write in simplest form.

 Adding and Subtracting Fractions
In order to add fractions, they have to be the same size fractions, meaning they must have a common denominator. To
get a common denominator you need to convert the fractions proportionally, multiplying the numerator and
denominator by the same value.

Add or subtract. Write in simplest form.

Use the inverse operation to solve for the variable. Multiplication is the inverse of division and vice versa. Remember
you should not divide by a fraction, but rather multiply by the multiplicative inverse.

 Solving Proportions

A proportion is two fractions that are equivalent. For example, we know that = and we can say that one-half is
2 6
proportional to three-sixths. You can use cross products to determine if two fractions are proportional.

Determine whether each pair of fractions forms a proportion: (you can use a calculator for this part but show work)
