This summer, in addition to reading some good books and spending time outside, you may want to sharpen your math skills. Summer is a good time to review concepts that you found a little confusing this year and to make sure that you’re ready to succeed in September. The Summer Skills series of workbooks are great for extra practice. We particularly like how the books are broken up into short lessons with clear explanations and diagrams. You can order directly from the Summer Skills website: http://www.summerskills.com/books/summer-math-skills- sharpener-1 We recommend the 6 th grade review book for 7 th graders entering Foundational Pre-Algebra or Pre-Algebra, the 7 th grade review book for rising 8 th graders entering Transitional Algebra, the Pre-Algebra review book for any student entering Algebra 1, and the Algebra review book for any 8 th grader entering into Geometry or Honors Geometry.
