Summer Learning Supports Secondary

Summer Learning Supports (Secondary)

Lake Stevens secondary students and families,

As we approach summer we want to share resources with you that can be accessed and used in the coming months to keep student academic skills sharpened in preparation for next school year.

cK-12 focuses on math and science. The staff of cK-12 determined the basic essential learning that must be mastered in selected secondary math and science courses in order to be prepared for the upcoming course. They included lessons, interactive activities and practice problems/answers for these essential learnings in short booklets called flexlets. The table below directs students to the correct flexlet for our math courses:

Math Course Completed	Appropriate Flexlet
Sixth Grade	Prep for 7th Grade Math
Seventh Grade	Prep for 8th Grade Math
Eighth Grade and Pre-Algebra	Prep for High School Math
Algebra 1	Review of Algebra
Geometry	Review of Algebra (preferred to prepare for Algebra 2) and/or Review of Geometry

Middle School Science
These grades have integrated content so review is from the Flexlet chapters outlined in the table below. There are lots of learning activities to choose from.

Science Course Completed	Appropriate Flexlet
Sixth Grade	Earth Science Prep Chapters 8, 9 Physical Science Prep Chapter 12 Life Science Prep Chapter 3, 7

High School Science
High School Science students simply select the flexlet for the course they’ll begin in Fall 2021; that is, a student who registers for physical science would select Prep for Physical Science, one who registers for Biology would select Prep for Biology, one who registers for Chemistry would select Prep for Chemistry, etc.
