ROY W. BROWN MIDDLE SCHOOL BERGENFIELD, NJ
Math 6 Summer Math Packet 2016‐2017
NAME:_______________________________________
Bergenfield Public Schools Roy W. Brown Middle School 130 S. Washington Avenue 201-387-3850 June, 2016 Dear Parents and Guardians, We are excited to again present summer activities that the math teachers of Roy W. Brown Middle School have created. Enclosed are math activities designed to help your son or daughter practice the skills which they have already learned and are critical to success in Math 6. As you may be aware, studies have shown that students who do not practice or review during the summer months the material they have already mastered lose some of that mastery. Unfortunately, this then requires the next teacher to spend valuable teaching time reviewing. While certainly not the final answer, this packet of activities is designed to help your son or daughter retain his or her math skills and knowledge. Like you, we want your child to enjoy a wonderful summer. That is why we have designed activities so that 20 to 30 minutes of work per week should be all that is required. We urge you to encourage your child to take this task seriously and complete it successfully. Together we can make a difference in your child’s future. Now is the time to build on the foundation to help your child succeed on future standardized exams such as PARCC, and, even more importantly, the SAT. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely, Shane Biggins Principal
Carmen Archetto Supervisor of Mathematics

Grading and Helpful Hints Regarding IXL a. Your “SmartScore” is a score that reflects various aspects of performance, including # of problems completed, # of problems correct/incorrect, and problem difficulty. In addition, recent answers are weighted more heavily and consistency (correct answers in a row) is rewarded highly. b. Please read explanations when an answer is wrong. This will help refresh your understanding of concepts, and hopefully help with the remaining problems. c. Please be aware that when you decide to conclude a session by clicking “submit & finish”, you must have an answer in the answer box, otherwise the current question will be marked wrong, lowering your SmartScore. d. The average of all 10 of the SmartScore’s will count as a quiz grade. e. Remember, the more practice you have with your prior grade’s standards, the more successful you will be in September. f. Finally, if you are having difficulty with a given activity, do not spend hours trying to get a 100%. Simply get your SmartScore as high as possible, and then move to another activity. There are 10 activities, worth 100 points each so you will have other opportunities to bring up your total score.

Guided Review:
Adding Decimals When you add decimals, you need to line up the decimal points. Remember to write zeros, if needed. 1 Add. 7 + .139 + 8.9 7.000 .139 + 8.900 16.039
Subtracting Decimals When you subtract decimals, you need to line up the decimal points. Remember to write zeros, if needed. Subtract. 83.89 – 4.8 83.89 – 4.80 79.09 Subtract. 65 – 6.257 65.000 – 6.257 58.743 Show your work for each problem in the boxes below and on the next page. You may not need to do 39 problems and may not need all 39 boxes. Leave unused boxes blank. You may add scrap paper if needed. DO NOT USE A CALCULATOR! 1 2 3 4 Example:

Activity 6 ‐ IXL ‐F.1 Prime and composite numbers
MY Smart Score:__________
You do not need to show your work. Write your Smart Score on the line when you complete the activity.
Guided Review:
Prime and Composite Numbers A prime number is a whole number that only has two factors, which are itself and one. A composite number has factors in addition to one and itself. Factors are numbers that the number can be divided by. Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 30 can be divided by all of these numbers Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9 9 can be divided by these numbers Factors of 5: 1, 5 5 can only be divided by these two numbers Since 30 and 9 both have more than two factors they are COMPOSITE NUMBERS. Since 5 only has two factors it is a PRIME NUMBER. Factors of 1: 1 Since 1 only has itself as a factor it is neither prime nor composite.
