The second part of the Algebra 1 Summer Bridge Packet. It covers functions & patterns, linear relationships, geometric foundations, statistics & probability, and an advanced Algebra 1 preview.

The first part of the Algebra 1 Summer Bridge Packet for rising 8th graders. It covers integer operations, rational numbers, expressions, solving equations, and proportional relationships with worked examples and workspaces.

A hands-on, highly visual lesson where 6th-grade students explore the realm of rational numbers. Students use sorting mats, custom cut-out cards, and independent worksheets to classify numbers into nested subsets (Whole, Integers, Rational) and organize them by format and sign.

A hands-on, collaborative lesson where 6th-grade students master the nested relationships of the rational number system. Students explore whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers through an interactive card sort and active station rotation challenge.

A comprehensive math intervention lesson targeting two-step algebraic equations. Features a color-coded step-by-step visual organizer that guides students through undoing addition/subtraction first, followed by multiplication/division to isolate the variable.

Scaffolded practice activities ('Skill Missions') that review key concepts: linear equations, systems, sequences, lines of best fit, and factoring. These activities ensure students have the foundational skills needed for their final project.

A high-intensity, 2-hour math simulation where students act as lead consultants. They complete a scaffolded Skill Warmup before choosing one of four career paths (Music, Urban, Rocket, or Sports) to solve real-world "Work Orders" and delivering an Executive Pitch.
