Summer Work and Math Review 2023

The summer months are a wonderful time to explore and experience new things.  This year, Hill Top created a Summer Experience Choice Board, which encourages students to reach outside of their comfort zone and try something new in each of the content areas. The goal is for students to complete at least one item in each column and document that experience.  Students will reflect on and share their experiences when they return to school in September. 

 

 

 

For 11th grade students enrolled in the American Studies course in the Fall, you have an ADDITIONAL reading assignment for the summer, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.  Click here for the instructions.  

 

For 12th grade students enrolled in the Contemporary Issues course in the Fall, you have an ADDITIONAL reading assignment for the summer, George Friedman's The Storm Before the Calm.  Click here for the instructions.  

 

Unlike the summer reading, the summer math review work is not required, but highly recommended and encouraged.  The only exception is for students taking CALCULUS in the Fall as their work is required for the class.  The summer math review work will be collected at the start of school and we will give up to 20 extra credit points for work completed over the summer. In order to receive the extra credit, you have to show your work (not just answers) or if the work was completed online through Khan Academy or IXL, provide us with a screen shot of the progress made over the summer.  A helpful hint would be to complete a little math work each day and to stick with a topic until you have completed it rather than skipping around. If you are not sure which option to choose or which class to prepare for in the Fall, contact Ms. Falcone ([email protected]). 

 

There are three options for summer math review, the packets attached below, IXL or Khan Academy. 

 

Use your Hill Top IXL account to track your progress.  For the summer, they have created skill plans and this is the work that should be done this summer should you choose to use this option.

 

 

Make sure that  you are logging in with an account so that you can track your progress.  For the summer, they have created "Get ready" courses and this is what should be done over the summer should you choose this option.
