Summer Packet
2015
1|Page
Directions for Summer Packet:
1. Put your name on the packet! Do all work in PENCIL only!
2. Read each page carefully for all instructions and examples.
3. Following the examples given (or by how your last teacher
showed you), complete each problem. Show any and all work
necessary for each problem! Feel free to attach more paper is
needed (write the page number on it)
4. Calculators may be used, but try to avoid them if possible.
5. Packets will be scored during the first week of school by your
teacher.
6. Students should expect a quiz on the material in this packet,
usually the first week of school.
7. Good luck and enjoy your summer!

Comparing Integers/Absolute Value
Use <, >, or = to answer the following.
1) 8
3) -5
-8
-16
5) -12
-20
2) 0
-3
4) 4
4
6) -3
4
Put the integers in ascending order.
7) 4, 5,  2, 1
8) 2,  7,  10,  3
9) 14, 12, 17 , 5
10) 3, 4 ,  2, 5
Absolute Value is the distance a number is from zero (always positive).
For example 4 = 4; 5  5
1) 2 
2) 8 
3) 5 
4) 12 
5) 21 
6) 83 
7) 100 
8) 142 
9) 231 
10) 250 

Evaluating Expressions
Evaluate = plug in for the variable and simplify
Example: given x = 2 and y = 4, evaluate 3x + y
SOLUTION = 3(2) + (4) = 6 + 4 = 10
Evaluate each expression given that x = 5, y = -4, and z = 6
1) 3x - z
2) yz + 4
3) 2xy + z
4) 2(x + z) – y
5) 4y – 5z + 1
6) -2xyz + x
