Eighth Grade Math in Seventh Grade by Grace O.

Every year a few select sixth graders will be placed in 8th grade algebra. When people ask what class you got into, you tell them not realizing that it is amazing to them. All you have to do to get into 8th grade math is work hard on everything. [Editor's note: And maybe have some natural talent]. Some people still think it is amazing when you tell them that you are in 8th grade independent, but to be honest it really isn't. It is just like any other class that you go to with a couple of exceptions. Depending when you have an assembly you may not have math that day while the rest of your class has math. When they have an assembly you don’t have math. Also when they have the Washington trip, you don’t have math. This all sounds so nice but there are a couple cons to this as well. If it doesn’t work out you may have math 5th period meaning that you have to go to 8th grade lunch. Your schedule may also be messed up so that you could be in two or more sections for one subject. Some math may be challenging but, you were put into 8th grade math for a reason, so tough it out. Even though some math may be hard some will be easy. You may be surprised that you are doing average or above. All in all 8th grade math is good for the brain and not “cool.”
