Understanding the meaning of multiplication

Welcome to Kingswood Oxford
and the
Upper Prep!
The work in this packet reviews some of the concepts covered in your elementary school.
It is expected that you know all your math facts when you come to school in the fall. This
packet is a way for you to review and practice those skills. Please complete this packet and
return it to your math teacher in September. I would suggest working on this packet
towards the end of the summer. Please do not use a calculator and show all of your work.
If you have difficulty completing this packet you may seek out extra help from your teacher
in the fall.
Thanks, have a great summer and see you in September!
