IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS!!! We understand that students come to 9th grade with different strengths and needs. For this reason, students have options for completing the packet and getting assistance!

Students should try to answer all the questions if possible; you must show all work.

Students must answer a minimum of 100 out of 124 questions to receive full credit.

If you really can’t answer certain questions, students may write the word “pass” on up to 20

questions without penalty. (The purpose of this option is to allow students to show what they know on certain concepts while informing the teacher of concepts that may need to be reviewed with students after school starts).

Khan Academy video tutorials, aligned with Algebra I, are available by clicking this link: http://www.houstonisd.org/cms/lib2/TX01001591/Centricity/Domain/8050/Khan_Acad_Video_Algmt_Alg1.pdf

Need face-to-face help with packet? Come to WHS on August 19th between 1-3pm! WHS Algebra teachers will be on hand to give you assistance!

There will be a test over this material on or before September 9, 2016.

All existing and new students who are enrolled at WHS on or before August 17th, must

submit their summer packet to their math teacher no later than Friday, August 26, 2016.

Students who enrolled at Westside High School on or after August 19th, must submit their summer packet within two weeks of their enrollment date at Westside.

Finally, honor and integrity is at the heart of a Westside Wolf! Smart wolves never cheat. You are only hurting yourself by attempting to copy someone else’s work. This packet is to help you be ready for high school, and help your teachers know what you can do.

Now! Get Ready, Get Set, and Do Your Best!
