Dear Soon to Be 7th Graders and Parents of Soon to Be 7th Graders,
Congratulations on making through your first year of middle school and welcome to 7th
grade. I am looking forward to working with you next year! The 7th-grade math curriculum is
a rigorous curriculum that builds on what you have learned in 6th-grade math.
To help you keep your skills strong, I have several assignments for you to do over the course
of the summer. This summer math challenge has not been created to torture you. It was
actually created with the opposite intent. This was created to make you a math expert,
especially as you prepare to begin math in the seventh grade!
Each week you will be assigned a set of practice problems to complete. You may choose
when to do it. You may work on the challenge in whichever way best suits your style. You
may do the problems for the week in one day or you may spend five minutes a day
completing each problem. All I ask is that you do not leave the assignment until the week or
even the day before school begins. Trust me, you will NOT complete it!
This challenge is meant for you to maintain
your skills. You may use siblings, parents, and
most importantly your brain to complete the
assignments. You must show all of your work
and the work should be done in pencil.
Lastly, please complete the
evaluation/reflection forms when you
complete all assignments. There is one for you
and one for your parents at the end of this
packet.
Good luck and have a fabulous summer! I
cannot wait to see you in the fall!
Sincerely,
Mr. Jeremy Min
7th Grade Math and Science Teacher

Week 8: Performance Task #1 Apply skills and Explain your thinking!
Alisa hopes to play beach volleyball in the Olympics someday. She has convinced her
parents to allow her to set up a beach volleyball court in their backyard. A standard beach
volleyball court is approximately 26 feet by 52 feet. She figures that she will need the sand to
be one foot deep. She goes to the hardware store to shop for sand and sees the following
signs on pallets containing bags of sand.
a. What is the rate that Brand A is selling for? Give the rate and then specify the unit rate.
b. Which brand is offering better value? Explain your answer.
c. Alisa uses her cell phone to search how many pounds of sand is required to fill 1 cubic
foot and finds the answer is 100 pounds. Choose one of the brands and compute how
much it will cost Alisa to purchase enough sand to fill the court. Identify which brand
was chosen as part of your answer. Use the volume formula, V = l • w • h, to determine
your answer.

Week 9: Performance Task #2 Apply skills and Explain your thinking!
Loren and Julie have different part-time jobs after school. They are both paid at a constant
rate of dollars per hour. The tables below show Loren and Julie’s total income (amount
earned) for working a given amount of time.
a. Find the missing values in the two tables above.
b. Who makes more per hour? Justify your answer.
c. Write how much Julie makes as a rate. What is the unit rate?
d. How much money would Julie earn for working 16 hours?
e. What is the ratio between how much Loren makes per hour and how much Julie
makes per hour?
1
f. Julie works 12 hours/dollar. Write a one or two-sentence explanation of what this rate
means. Use this rate to find how long it takes for Julie to earn $228.
