Summer Math Reinforcement Packet
Students Entering into 5 th Grade
I know our fourth graders had a busy year learning new math skills. Mastery of all
these skills is extremely important in order to develop a solid math foundation.
The fifth grade math program will add onto these fourth grade skills, so any time
spent learning and reinforcing these concepts will be very beneficial for your child .
Each year builds on the previous year's skills in math. Any areas in which your child
has difficulty, you may want to give them additional practice. Student mast ery of
the basic math skills is as important to success in future mathematical
procedures and reasoning as learning the alphabet is to reading and writing.
Have your child complete one page (one side), three times a week of the math
packet. Please return this completed packet in September to me. It will count as
one of the first assessments for the school year.
After your child has completed the math problems and you feel your child is still
struggling on a certain concept and needs further practice, you can visit some of
the web sites listed on the next page. The children also should utilize the IXL
lessons under "Fourth Grade". The students already have a login. You can also make
up your own problems for additional practice.
REMINDER: Practicing multiplication (up to 12) and division facts are VERY
important!
Enjoy your summer!
