Math 8 is the class that 80% of Memorial eighth graders will take.  It is geared toward, and aligned to the state standards.  This class will also use the course 3 book and is intended to be a Pre-Algebra type course.  Most students will advance on to either a 1 year, or two year Algebra class in high school.  Some adjustments may need to be made to the material depending on the individual class levels.
