What's Inside Vol. 1
Pre-algebra and personal finance are the same subject.
Most middle schoolers learn them as two unrelated subjects. They are the same subject. Variables, percents, ratios, and inequalities ARE the math of money. This workbook teaches both at once.
01
Splitting a bill
is variables.
02
Saving for shoes
is one-step equations.
03
Sales tax on a hoodie
is percents.
04
Best buy at the store
is unit rate.
05
Budgeting allowance
is variables in context.
06
Sticking to a $25 budget
is inequalities.
The Marked Books Loop
Every lesson follows the same five steps. Anchor in a real scene. Teach the underlying concept. Apply it in a Skill Check. Level Up to a harder version that mirrors a real adult decision. Exit Ticket to prove the skill transferred.

About Marked Books
We answer the two questions every student has asked.
When will I ever need this? And why do I need to know this?
Marked Books is a workbook publisher for grades 6 to 8. Every Marked Book takes a standard school subject and turns it into a real-world scenario the student already recognizes, then teaches the underlying skill.
We started with money because money is where the question has the most obvious answer. Pre-algebra and personal finance are the same subject taught as two. Vol. 1 is out now. The Money Series continues through 2026. More verticals coming.
