Southern Maryland Christian Academy Summer Math Assignment Options Objectives: Retention of math skills learned from previous school year. Students will be practicing math skills so that retention is maintained over the summer. Because each year builds upon the previ- ous year’s math skills, it is important that students have a solid foundation moving forward. To assist with this, SMCA requires that all students spend time over the summer completing an online mission on khanacademy.org or complete a summer math packet. Due Date: 2nd day of Math Class Assessment: Count as one test grade. Student must complete one option below in its entirety. Student may not start one option and then finish with the other option. Requirements: This summer there are two options for all students entering 6 th -AP Calculus. SMCA strongly recommends Option 1. Option 1: Khan Academy Summer Program Students are expected to complete 90% of the course mission. Students that choose the Khan Academy summer math assignments will be completing math modules through khanacademy.org. Students can expect to spend on average a minimum of 30 minutes per week on modules. As students complete the course, they have opportunities to earn “Badges”. “Badges” will be tallied at the beginning of the school year and the top 5 students per course with the greatest number of “badges” will earn 5 homework passes as a reward. Grading for the Khan Academy will be calculated by the completion percentage of the mission and it will count as one test grade. Option 2: Summer Math Packet Students are expected to spend at least 1,000 minutes AND 50% of the course mission. However, in order to prepare for success next year, students are highly encouraged to complete at least 90% of the course mission. Students who choose the math packet will complete a paper packet that must be printed from SMCA’s website. Students can expect to complete at least one page of the packet three times each week. Remember, it’s not about just “checking it off” and getting it done – it’s about doing quality review that will help you “hit the ground running” in your next math course. Students must show all work on separate sheets of paper. Answers need to written beside each question. Grading for the Summer Math Packet will be calculated by the number of correct answers out of num- ber of problems and it will be counted as one test grade. Calculator Use: Calculators may only be used for students entering Pre-Calculus and Calculus. New SMCA Students: New SMCA students who enroll after August 1, 2018 will have until the end of the first quarter to complete 50% of the Khan Academy summer math assignments or the entire math packet.
