Summer Packet
Honors Geometry Page 1 Summer, 2009
Dear student,

Hooray! Summer vacation is almost here and the start of the new school year is just around the corner. We want
you to be as prepared as possible for the school year. It is important that you have a smooth transition to your new
math class right at the beginning of the school year. With this in mind, we are providing a practice workbook of
previously taught skills for you to complete over the summer.

It is your responsibility to complete the packet before the start of the school year. Please look for the calculator
and no calculator symbols throughout the packet. Your new math teacher is expecting to see all work necessary to
solve the problems in this packet. Work space is provided. However, if you use lined paper, please attach it to
your packet. Your signature at the bottom of the page signifies that you have completed all work to the best of
your ability and tried your best to complete the packet. If you have trouble on some of the information, seek
assistance from a parent/guardian or other adult who may be able to assist you! Best wishes and we will see you
soon!

Sincerely,
LPMS Mathematics Department

Dear Parent/Guardian,
It is important to us that your child has a smooth transition into a new math course. With this in mind, we are
providing a practice workbook of previously taught skills for your child to complete over the summer. By doing so,
it is our goal to increase your childs retention of mathematics skills and to assure a clear understanding of
expectations we have for students in the upcoming year in math.

Please encourage and monitor your childs completion of this workbook. Please make sure that ALL WORK IS
SHOWN on each page or on attached paper. Remember, the goal is to work on it consistently throughout the
summer and not to rush to finish it quickly. Students are to submit their workbooks to their math teachers within
the first week of school. The packet will be assessed for a completion grade. Please sign and date the bottom of
this document stating that your child has completed the summer math packet to the best of his/her ability.

A list of suggested supplies and resources is also attached to this summer packet. The math department will be
using graphing calculators for classroom instruction, homework completion, and MCPS assessments. Students may
choose to purchase their own to bring back and forth to school. It is recommended that you purchase the graphing
calculator during the summer so that your child can become acquainted with it before school starts in the fall.
Thank you for your support!

Suggested Math Supplies for Honors Geometry Student:
