Summer 2026 Math assignment: 7th Grade Math
June 9, 2026
Rising 7th Graders and Families,
Middle school math is a critical point in math development. Students form the foundation upon which they will build their understanding for high school and beyond during these years. It is important to not lose ground over the summer months. For this reason, we are assigning Khan Academy Hours during summer.
Students join the class for next year by using this link
https://www.khanacademy.org/join/DRCVSWN6
and their already existing Khan Academy accounts. Any new students can create an account for free. What we have assigned is Get Ready for 7th Grade Math Course which for most will require more than 10 hours to complete, but if you do complete it, move on to the 7th Grade Math Course and even beyond. If this proves to be too difficult, select the 6th Grade Math Course or below and review. This site has both videos and practice problems that have been designed to target key math principles that they will need to succeed in math. This program was created by the same people who design the Keystones Math test which high school students need to pass in order to graduate from high school.
The assignment is to complete 2 hours for the remainder of June and 4 hours in each July and August for a total of 10 hours for the summer. You can check your accumulated minutes by going to “Learner Home,” then to “Progress,” and finally adjusting the first drop down box to the custom time range you need. Remember, we can see exactly where time was spent and level progression. Students will not receive credit for simply watching the same video over and over or only completing the same skills. These hours will be your first grade in the next year.
Good Luck,
Ms. Kantz & Ms. Chludzinski
