Pre‐Algebra Summer Math Packet

To help students retain math concepts and skills we are requiring students to complete this Pre‐Algebra
Summer Math Packet. The skills required to answer the questions in this packet are ones that should
have been mastered by students in previous math courses. Some of the skills are also covered in the
first chapter of the Pre‐Algebra textbook. The packet contains a brief review and example problems for
each skill.

Students should complete all of the questions for each lesson.

Please note:

1. Working through these problem sets is mandatory.

2. All work should be completed on separate sheets of paper. Answers should be written on the
packet.
3. Students should bring completed problems sets with them to turn in on the first day their math
class meets next school year.
a. Students do not need to print out the answer pages that are included with the packet.
4. Students should check their work upon completion.
a. The answers to the questions are located at the back of this packet. If a student
answers a question incorrectly, he/she should return to the work shown, attempt to find
the source of the error(s), and correct the problem.
5. Students should NOT use calculators on any portion of this packet.
6. Students will be given a homework grade for completion of this packet.

order of operations tells us how to evaluate them.
When an expression has more than one operation, do the operations in the
following order.
