8th Grade Math
The 8th Grade Pre-Algebra Math Curriculum is designed for students to build on the concepts and skills they acquired in 6th and 7th grade and, also, to expand on topics to prepare students for Algebra 1!
In grade 8, instructional time will emphasize six areas:
(1) representing numbers in scientific notation and extending the set of numbers to the system of real numbers, which includes irrational numbers;
(2) generate equivalent numeric and algebraic expressions including using the Laws of Exponents;
(3) creating and reasoning about linear relationships including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation;
(4) solving linear equations, inequalities and systems of linear equations;
(5) developing an understanding of the concept of a function and
(6) analyzing two-dimensional figures, particularly triangles, using distance, angle and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
This year we will be using All Things Algebra Curriculum and Math Nation Curriculum for learning, Delta Math and iReady Supplements, and Composition Notebooks and Google Classroom for Organization and Materials.
