Dear Rising 5th Grade Students,
I hope you had a wonderful year in fourth grade. I also hope you
are excited about coming back to school in August as a fifth grade
student! Fifth grade is going to be a year filled with many new and
exciting math topics to learn. To make sure you are ready, I have
developed this math packet for you to complete this summer. The
activities it contains will help you review the math skills you learned
this year. You will find it easy to complete if you do a few problems
each week. Bring the completed packet on the first day of
school. This packet will be graded and will count as your
first math grade for the year.
Have a wonderful summer vacation! I look forward to having some
math-magical times with you in the fall.
Happy calculating!
