FCPS will adopt new mathematics instructional resources for Math 6 (middle school only) through Algebra 2 for the 2026-27 school year. A review committee composed of community members, administrators, and teachers met to review materials submitted by vendors. The public is invited to review and provide feedback on the proposed resource.
Access the proposed resource for middle school Math 6 through Algebra 2 in person or on the Mathematics Basal Resource webpage from Saturday, June 13, to Sunday, July 12. Those reviewing instructional materials will provide feedback through a digital form. All community feedback will be shared with the review committee and the Fairfax County School Board before a board vote in July.
Hard copies of instructional materials will be available for review at Willow Oaks Welcome Center, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. If review hours are needed outside of these hours, please email MathBasalReview@fcps.edu.
KJMS Rising 7th and 8th Grade Summer Math Support
To help students prepare for the upcoming school year and support a successful transition into their mathematics courses, KJMS is providing optional Summer Math Packets for students enrolled in the following courses for the 2026–2027 school year:
- Pre-Algebra / Pre-Algebra Honors
- Algebra / Algebra Honors
- Geometry
- Algebra 2
These packets are designed to help students review key concepts and build confidence before beginning a rigorous math course in the fall. While completion of the packets is optional, we strongly encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity.
The packets are available on the KJMS website and printed copies may be picked up from the KJMS Main Office during summer hours (Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.).
For students enrolled at KJMS (rising 7th and 8th graders) for the 2026-2027 school year, KJMS math teachers will provide targeted assistance from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. on the following Thursdays:
- July 9
- July 16
- July 23
- July 30
- August 6
Support sessions will be structured as follows:
- 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. – In-person support at KJMS
- 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. – Virtual support via Zoom (Zoom links will be shared with families closer to July 6)
Each packet includes an answer key so students can check their own work and monitor their progress. Students are expected to complete the work independently and follow all directions provided in the packet. We recommend that the packet be completed with minimal calculator assistance, particularly for students enrolled in honors courses.
We hope these resources help students maintain their math skills over the summer and feel prepared for a strong start in the fall. If you have any questions, please contact the KJMS main office, 703-934-2400.
