1. Let
your
children
enjoy
the
holiday
with
some
mathematics!
If
you
feel
your
child
needs
to
review
or
enforce
their
understanding
or
skills
in
certain
mathematical
topics,
the
website
www.MyMaths.co.uk
is
a
great
tool
for
this.
Luanda
International
School
has
a
school
subscription,
which
allows
students
to
access
all
lessons
and
tasks
from
anywhere.
They
don’t
need
to
carry
anything
home;
the
only
thing
they
need
is
the
school
login
(please
verify
with
your
child
before
you
leave
on
holiday
that
they
know
this
login!).
Review
of
this
year’s
mathematics
work
For
any
of
the
units
done
this
year
in
mathematics
class,
there
are
review
lessons
and
homework
tasks
on
MyMaths.
These
can
be
found
on
the
main
page
in
the
“Library”,
organized
in
branches.
Your
child
can
also
choose
to
select
“Booster
Packs”
and
work
through
a
pre-­‐selected
list
of
topics.
This
is
what
can
be
used
as
a
guideline
–
the
year
levels
reflect
the
current
year.
• Year
7
students
could
work
on
Four
Boosters
• Year
8
and
9
students
could
work
on
Six
Boosters
or
Ds
to
Cs
• Year
10
students
could
work
on
Ds
to
Cs
or
Cs
to
Bs
• Year
11
students
could
work
on
Cs
to
Bs
or
A
to
Astar.
Basic
skills
The
secondary
mathematics
team
has
invited
some
students
in
each
year
group
to
work
on
a
“holiday
pack”
during
their
holiday.
The
holiday
packs,
one
for
each
year
level,
contain
a
review
of
several
foundational
skills
taught
during
the
year.
If
you
have
not
received
an
email
with
an
invitation
for
your
child
to
work
through
the
holiday
pack,
but
you
do
wish
to
sign
up
your
child,
you
could
send
a
request
to
Mrs
Annette
Gubbels
(agubbels@lisluanda.com)
for
your
child
to
be
signed
up
for
the
appropriate
year
level
holiday
booster
pack.
Please
remember:
This
is
targeted
towards
students
who
need
to
work
on
their
basic
skills
and
not
for
those
looking
for
extension
activities.
In
case
you
are
in
need
of
a
tutor
who
can
help
your
child
in
their
revision
during
the
holiday,
please
contact
Mr.
Ali
Shebani,
our
counselor,
who
has
contact
details
of
an
excellent
online
mathematics
tutor.

Calculators
Earlier
this
week
an
email
message
was
sent
out
to
all
parents
of
upcoming
Year
9
to
13
students,
saying
that
their
child
needs
to
have
a
graphic
display
calculator
(GDC).
Recommended
types
are:
• TI84
Plus
• TI84
Plus
SilverEdition
If
your
child
will
be
in
Year
7
or
8,
we
do
advise
for
the
students
to
have
a
(simple,
scientific)
calculator.
We
do
not
use
calculators
much
in
the
first
two
years
of
MYP,
but
occasionally
it
will
be
used
as
a
teaching
tool.
If
your
child
does
not
have
a
calculator
yet,
you
could
consider
buying
the
more
advanced
calculator
already.
This
is
not
required,
but
definitely
worth
considering,
as
your
child
will
be
in
Year
9
before
you
know
it
