SUMMER MATH REQUIREMENT

Welcome to STEM!

We are excited that you will be joining us in the fall and look forward to a great school year. In order for you to be best prepared to meet the challenges of your 9^th grade math class, we ask that you complete a readiness assessment that will determine if there are math concepts that you need to review prior to the start of school, and a computational assignment that will help you brush up on the basic arithmetic skills needed to be most successful in your math class. The directions to access each assignment are below.

Assignment #2 - Computational Skills

Students will be assessed on computational math skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students are expected to complete the computations without pen, pencil, paper or calculators. 

Summer Practice: Go to the website Arithmetic Game (https://arithmetic.zetamac.com) to practice. 

Grade Assigned - September 1st: Students will be assessed as follows in their 9th grade math course using the following guidelines. Students should use the Arithmetic Game to practice.  

• Addition/subtraction - must use range of –100 to 100, students will be graded as follows:
• 50 - Below Basic (BB): Less than 5 correct in 60 seconds
• 85 - Proficient (PR): 5 to 9 correct in 60 seconds
• 100 - Advanced (AD): 10 or more correct in 60 seconds
• Multiplication/division - must use range of –10 to 10, students will be graded as follows:
• 50 - Below Basic (BB): Less than 20 correct in 60 seconds
• 85 - Proficient (PR): 20 to 29 correct in 60 seconds
• 100 - Advanced (AD): 30 or more correct in 60 seconds
