Dear Parent/Guardian:
Tilden’s Math Department wants to ensure that our students do not lose any of their math skills over the summer. We have
decided to use a free online program offered by TenMarks Education this summer that will provide your child with access
to a powerful, personalized summer math program designed to help them reverse summer learning loss.
The program is called TenMarks Summer Math Program and here is how it works.
1. Visit http://summer.tenmarks.com and sign up. You will sign up as a parent and will then be assigned a username
and password for your child.
All students will register for the grade level that they will be in during the 2015-2016 school year unless they are
taking C2.0 Algebra or C2.0 Honors Geometry. If they are taking C2.0 Algebra they will register for the Algebra
program on TenMarks. If they are taking C2.0 Honors Geometry they will register for the Geometry program
on TenMarks.
2. At the start of the program, your child will take a short diagnostic assessment. The assessment will be automatically
graded and TenMarks will create a personalized program, designed for your child to prepare for the upcoming year.
3. Your child will work through the personalized program throughout the summer. Feel free to give them incentives to
continue motivating them to complete the program!
It is recommended that your child spend at least an hour a week to strengthen his/her math skills, and prepare for the year
ahead. The TenMarks Summer Math Program will guide your child through their personalized program, one topic at a time,
helping them refresh what they know, and learn what they don’t. Each assignment contains embedded instruction (hints,
video lessons, and interventions) to help your child refresh concepts from the past year and prepare for the ones ahead.
If you do not have home access to the internet, below is one location where you can have the free use of computers and the
internet in Bethesda/Rockville.
