Towards the end of May all 7th graders will take a placement test to see if they qualify to be in the compacted accelerated math program (CAP). The CAP Program starts in 7th grade (6th graders are given a placement test) and students are taught 7th grade math standards and about 1/2 of the 8th grade math standards. The CAP 8th grade class continues where the 7th CAP left off and also includes the high-school, Integrated Math 1 standards. For students to be prepared for the placement test and CAP 8 they should have mastered the following 8th grade topics: 1.) Interpreting unit rate as slope (in word problems, tables, graphs, and equations) 2.) Slope Intercept Form 3.) Solving Multiple Step Linear Equations 4.) Exponent Rules (including Scientific Notation) 5.) Irrational Numbers Please see the pdf attached below for additional details and actual standards. Besides the placement test a student's Trimester 3 iready results and prior year's SBAC scores are used for CAP placement.
