Middle School Math Courses 6th grade math 7th grade math 8th grade math 5th grade math 8th grade PAP math 6th grade PAP math 7th grade PAP math PAP Algebra I ** 8th Grade: Choose math class you “think” you want to take. Changes will be made after IAAT results.

CBA Comparison On-Level: Pre-AP: A concession stand earned a profit of $150 in July. This represented 25% of the profits made in June. How much profit did the concession stand make in June? Pre-AP: Chad works for Best Buy and is paid an hourly wage plus a 3% commission on his sales. Last week he worked 35 hours and sold $4500 worth of merchandise. His total earnings for the week were $530.50. How much does Chad earn per hour? **Requires students to see that $150 is ¼ of June’s profit, so the answer is found by multiplying 150 by 4. **Requires students to solve a multi-step equation by first calculating the commission, subtracting it from total earnings and then dividing by the number of hours worked.

PAP Algebra I HS Credit and counts toward HS GPA Accelerated course and considered above grade level 8th grade PAP Algebra I students should plan on taking a total of 5 years of math prior to HS graduation (5th year can either be AP Calculus or AP Statistics)
