Rising 6th Grade Summer Math Assignment
This summer's math assignment should take a minute or two each time you do part of it, will not take you out of your routine, will be so important in continuing a love (or comfort) in math, and is also
green.
At least 40 times this summer, you should record a moment of how math appeared in your life.
This record should be in the back of an old notebook that you may have brought home this week, on the computer, or on the back of some paper. Just make sure it is all put together with your name on it and bring it to school this fall.
An entry should look like this:
June 11th. Went to pool at 2:10PM, left at 4:30PM -- spent 2 hours 20 minutes at the pool (or 2 1/3 hours for you fraction fiends).
Here is why we're doing this:
- To keep your mind working.
- To show you how much you use math every day
- To get you organized for middle school. More and more it will be up to you to keep up with your assignments and how to break it up so that everything isn't due at once.
- To increase your comfort level in math. You CAN do fractions and decimals and they show up all of the time.
Here are some examples of some things that math may appear in your life this summer
- See who in your family can guess the total cost of your next meal the closest. You should be able to get to the nearest $1 before tax.
- At a baseball game, who do you think had the best game. The player who had 4 singles in 5 at bats or a guy with a homerun and a double?
- At the next gas fill up, notice how many gallons went into the tank and ask your parents how many miles they went on that tank of gas. Estimate how many miles did they go on each gallon. I know you can tell if it is closer to 20 miles every gallon or 30 miles every gallon. You should (without a calculator) be able to estimate to the nearest mile, how many miles they went.
- On your next trip of 2 hours or more, see who in your family can predict your arrival time the closest. No fair telling Dad that you HAVE to go to the bathroom 10 miles before you get there just so you win.
- What is a better deal--buying a 20 ounce soda for $1.49 or 2 liter bottle for $1.19 (Duh!!!). Or, what is a better deal buying that 2 liter bottle for $1.19 or a 4 12-packs of soda for $12.
- How much money should I earn (or ask for) for babysitting, mowing the lawn, etc.?
- How much pizza should you and your neighbors order for the next get together?
- How many people do you think are in line in front of you for the roller coaster? How many people are in the crowd at an event (ball game, movie, concert)?
The first question you could look at is why did I ask you to make at least 40 entries if there are 11 3/7 weeks of summer vacation left. There should be an obvious reason. The answer should help you figure out about how often you should write something down.
Try not to duplicate the exact same entries. Entries could be about the same thing but maybe the numbers changed (prices change, you went further, you stayed longer, etc.)
Have fun this summer, and don't wait until the end to do this. Jot things down when they happen. Keep organized and don't lose what you wrote down.
