What+do+we+do+in+an+Eighth+Grade+Math+class?

In Eighth Grade you will attend Math for one period every day. Math class is broken into two different levels, Algebra, and Abridged Algebra.

Algebra Like in previous years you will be working from the CPM text book, which mostly focuses on one main topic per chapter. In the beginning of the year you will review and improve on previously learned skills along with learning several new skills along the way which will make solving problems much simpler. After the first three chapters, which are mostly just review, you will start to learn new and more difficult problems.

Abridged Algebra Abridged Algebra is a Math class for students who have shown they are strong in the field of Math. Like in previous years you will be working from the CPM text book, which mostly focuses on one main topic per chapter. In the beginning of the year you will skip through most of the first three chapters, which are mostly review, and focus mostly on the new skills. Throughout the year you will also work on enrichment problems which will deepen your understanding of the new skills you are learning. Later in the year you will be going through the CPM book chapter by chapter faster than normal Algebra.
