8th Grade Math Summer Packet
Dear Parent/Guardian,
In preparation for 8th grade mathematics, a packet of 7th grade review problems must be
completed and handed in on the first day of school. The packet is posted on the West Essex
School’s website: http://www.westex.org and it will count for 7 points of a homework grade.
Please follow all directions given below regarding the completion of this packet:
 No calculators allowed, except on the Percent and Geometry worksheets.
 All work must be shown. If needed, please use a separate piece of paper.
 This packet must be completed by your child. Your child will be assessed on this material.
 If there is a topic your child doesn’t remember how to do, it should not be left blank,
s/he must try his best. Refer to the links below for review.
Please Note:
It is important each student do the packet himself as the first test of the year (administered
during the first two weeks of school) will be on these topics.
The following websites can assist your child in the topics covered in the packet.
