Glossary

Answers

To the Student

This book is designed to help you succeed in your seventh grade mathematics study. Short lessons explain key points, while exercises help you practice what you learned.

First, begin with the Pretest. This will identify areas that you need additional help with, as well as areas in which you are more comfortable.

Second, read the Table of Contents. Seeing how a book is organized will help guide your work.

Third, look at the 10-Week Summer Study Plan. This will help you plan your time spent in practicing the skills you will master in this book. Remember, the Summer Study Plan is only a guide for you. You may proceed more quickly on some lessons, and you may need to spend more time on other lessons.

Fourth, notice the hints included in some of the lessons following the special Remember feature. These will help you remember key points that often make your mathematics work easier.

Fifth, take the Posttest. This test will demonstrate what you mastered as well as areas you may have to return to.

Finally, remember the old saying, Practice makes perfect. In mathematics, practice may not guarantee perfection, but it certainly makes learning easier.

10-Week Summer Study Plan

Many students will use this book as a summer study program. If that’s what you are doing, here is a handy 10-week study plan that can help you make the best use of your time.
