Philosophy: To help students prepare for their next math course at NDB, the math department will start a new program called the Summer Skill Set (S-cubed or S3). In order to help student retention, the S3 will incorporate key ideas and skills that a student should have mastered and/or have become familiar with from their previous math course. Some S3 also contain material that will provide a glimpse of what a student will be learning at the beginning of their next course.

Directions: The Summer Skill Sets and the corresponding answer keys are available for download in the columns to the right. Each student should select the worksheet for the class that she has been enrolled in for the upcoming 2012-2013 school year. The student is to complete the worksheet, making sure to show all work. Expect to turn the S3 in on the first class meeting to the math teacher. There will be an assessment on the material covered during the first week of the new school year.
