Western High School

The following is a message from the Math Department, however all Summer Assignments are listed below.

---

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students: 

As academic standards become more rigorous, the WHS Math Department would like to provide our students opportunities to be successful in their next math course of study.

It has been our experience that many prerequisite mathematical skills are lost due to the absence of regular practice over the summer. The loss of these pertinent skills may contribute to unnecessary frustration for students as they begin their next level of mathematical study in the new school year. Retaining certain skills as students move from one math course to another is crucial to their academic performance. 

For these reasons, a summer assignment has been prepared for all current eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade students ENTERING any of the following classes in August:

• Algebra I

• Informal Geometry

• Geometry

• Liberal Arts Math

• Algebra 2

• Math for College Readiness

• Probability and Statistics

• Advanced Topics in Mathematics

• Analysis of Functions/Trigonometry

• Pre-Calculus

• AP Calculus AB

• AP Calculus BC

• AP Statistics

The student will need to complete the summer assignment indicated for the mathematics course(s) they are enrolled in for September 2015. Teachers will expect that all work is completed and submitted on the first day of school, August 24, 2015.
