Your child
This is a classthat integratespre-algebta,probability, geometry,and
algebraconceptstogetherin one course. Your child has beenplacedin
this classbasedon the level of hisiher abstractthinking skills and the
progressionof theseskills, as well as hisiheracademicprogressoverthis
past year. On May zsth,your child was given skill buildersto complete

in pencil with all answersput in the answercolumn provided. These
must be turned in the first day of orientationnext August. Your child
should check all work using a calculator.Your child may utilize the
websitePre-Alg .com as a resourceto help them with the skill builders if
they have forgotten someconcepts. There are extra practicequizzesand
testson there and I urge your child to continueto practiceconceptsover
the summerso not to forget them. Have a gteatsummerand I look
forward to teachingyour child next yeat.
