Dear Rising 7th Graders,
Name: ___________________________________
Congratulations! You have thrived during your first year of middle school. The 7th grade math teachers look
forward to working with you next year. We LOVE math, and we hope that we can help your affection for the subject
grow as well. We believe that all students can be great at math. We all struggle at times, and the struggle is a very
important part of the learning process. Did you know that Albert Einstein once said, “Do not worry about your
difficulties in mathematics; I can assure you that mine are still greater”? This is a man whose theories helped us be able
to have things like phones and televisions! When you struggle, be encouraged, since the struggle means you are
learning and growing.
We encourage you to continue to work on your math skills this summer. In addition to the assignments below,
we recommend you spend time playing math games as well. Focus on operations with fractions and decimals. Try your
best to get comfortable with integer operations as well. Being strong in these areas will make 7th grade math much
easier for you. Next year is going to be great!
Instructions: The Review Questions attached must be done by all students. In addition, you must select
three assignments from the tic-tac-toe board below. Your selections must be three in a row--just like you
have to do to win tic-tac-toe. These assignments are due when you return to school and will count as
a grade. Please return this page with the activities you completed clearly marked along with the work.
Make a table with 25 rational numbers.
Write each number as a fraction, a
decimal, and a percent.
Roll a dice 25 times and record the
number of each trial. Use this data set
to make a box and whisker plot. Of
course, you will need to find the five
statistical summary (minimum, Q1,
median, Q3, and maximum). If you
don't have a dice, write the numbers 1-6
on small pieces of paper and pull
numbers from a bag.
Polygons are shapes with three or more
straight lines. They have angles, but
they have no curves. Draw a one page
picture composed of ONLY polygons.
Your picture should be colored.
Sketch out the rooms in your home.
Find the perimeter and area of each
room (you will need a ruler). Label
each room with these measurements.
Add up all the areas in order to find the
total area of your home.
Make a quiz on equations, inequalities,
and proportions. Your quiz should be at
least 10 questions long and should
including some challenging questions.
You must provide an answer key as
well with your work shown.
Prime numbers are numbers that have
exactly two factors. Write all the prime
numbers between 1 and 100. Also,
write the largest prime number you can
find.
List the measures of center and the
measures of variability. Explain how
the two categories are different.
Describe a real life situation in which
one would want to use measures of
center. Describe a situation where one
would use measures of variation.
Roll a dice 25 times and record the
result of each trial or write the numbers
1-6 on small pieces of paper and pull
numbers from a bag. Using the data
you collect, find the mean, median,
mode, range, interquartile range, and
mean absolute deviation (MAD).
Design a math game. If a game board is
needed, make one. If cards are needed,
make them. Clearly write the rules for
your game using complete sentences.
You should have no less than 25 math
problems using content you learned in
6th grade math. Please include an
answer key as well. Be creative and use
your artistic abilities.
All Rising 7th Graders must complete this set of review problems. Show your work. No calculators allowed.
In a box of 48 apples 1 in every 6 apples is rotten. How many rotten apples are in the box? Solve the problem. Show
your work AND explain how you arrived at your answer.
Find the area of the figure. Show your work AND explain the process you followed
