LEARNING NEVER TAKES A VACATION!

Dear Parents and Students,

In this booklet you will find math activities that will help to review and maintain math skills learned
in fifth grade, skills reviewed again in 6th grade, and prepare your child for sixth grade Math. These
activities are varied and are meant to show how much fun and relevant math can be in everyday
life. These are activities that should be done throughout vacation, at the pool, at a restaurant, on
the beach, etc. They are not intended to be completed in that last 2 or 3 days before school
begins.

Calculator use: It is suggested that students not use a calculator in the first section, and then use a
calculator as little as possible to complete the rest of the packet. Parents and students should discuss the
activities, and parents should check to see if the activities have been completed correctly.

All work completed should be returned to your child’s sixth grade Math teacher at the beginning of the
2010-2011 school year. Have a great time “sailing into summer with math!”

Due Date: August 30, 2010, the first day of school!

Deadline: September 8, 2010.
Grading Weight: Will count for twice as much as a normal homework for the completion of the assignment.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me during the summer.
