Review Packet
Meriden Public Schools
Dear Students and Parents,
This packet is made up of math problems that will help you prepare for the Math
portion of the Connecticut Mastery Test. Please complete as much of this packet
as you can before returning to school on Monday, February 22nd. The problems in
this packet have already been taught, so be sure to use your strategies of solving
each problem to the best of your ability.
There are also some problems in this packet that require you to measure the
lengths of some items. If you need a ruler, cut out the one at the bottom of this
page and use it for the measurement problems. Be sure to use CENTIMETERS for
centimeter questions and INCHES for inch questions.
Good Luck and practice well!
