Suggested Summer Math Activities
for students who have completed
6th grade math (entering PreAlgebra 7 or PreAlgebra 7/8)
Name:_______________________
You’ve learned SO much this year!! It is important that you keep practicing your mathematical knowledge over
the summer to be ready for 7th grade. In this document, you will find a calendar of activities for the months of
July and August. In conjunction with your work on your summer preparation packet, you should plan to spend
time each week working on your math facts using some of the suggested websites below. Your parent should log
the time that you spent practicing on your July and August calendars.
Once you have completed a week’s worth of activities, have a family member initial the appropriate weekly topic
box on the calendar. It would be helpful to use a summer math notebook to record and show all of your work in
a neat and organized fashion.
Here are some fun and useful websites that you can visit over the summer for more practice 
