Good to know

Traditional, skills-first practice based on California's pre-Common Core grade-level standards (math and English language arts, 1997; science and history-social science, 1998). The challenge math pages follow California's 1997 Algebra I and Geometry standards. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the California Department of Education. States set their own standards. Check yours.

This kit is supplemental practice, not a curriculum. It was made with AI assistance. Every answer in the key is computed and checked, and each science and true-facts page is checked against reference sources, listed after the answer key.

Some pages are shared with our other kits: 24 Grade 7 level pages (15 math, 2 reading, 4 true-facts and 3 language pages) also appear as the Super Smart pages of our Grade 5 Grade Kit. The integers and rational numbers chart also appears in our Grade 6 kit, and the fractions, decimals and percents chart in our Grade 5 and Grade 6 kits. The formulas and units of measure charts also appear in our Grade 6 and Grade 8 kits, and the exponents and roots chart and the properties and algebra rules chart in our Grade 8 kit. The 24 Super Smart pages (Grade 9 level) also appear as regular pages in our Grade 9 Grade Kit. If you own those kits, you already have them.

Print on US Letter paper in black ink. Print the cut-out page (the Equivalent Match cards) on one side only, on heavier paper if you have it.
