Rising 6th Graders Summer Math Packet 
 
Dear Parents,  
 
Rockdale County Public Schools is committed to providing the best math education possible for your child. Due to the cumulative nature of mathematics, in order for your child to be successful in the coming school year, he/she must possess mastery of many concepts from his/her previous math classes. For this reason, we have created a summer math packet to ensure your child is up to date on his/her prerequisite math skills.  
 
1.	Complete the practice problems embedded in the summer packet for the students who will be enrolled in 6th grade during the Fall of 2020.  The use of the Braining Camp manipulatives can be found in ClassLink on their laptop.

 
2.	The use of www.khanacademy.org can be helpful for students to use.  Type in the learning target topic(s) in the search menu. Here, your son/daughter will find tutorials and extra practice problems. Have him/her watch the tutorials and do the extra practice problems. This website will let your child know if he/she is doing the work correctly.  

3.	Free Daily Lessons and Resources from hand2mind for students and parents can be found HERE (https://www.hand2mindathome.com/daily-lessons-resources-grade-5-week-1/).  The resources allow students to review 5th grade material to be ready for 6th grade pre-requisites.
