8th Grade

"In this course, students learn about the connections between number patterns, lines, and linear equations. They analyze and solve a variety of types of linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. They define, evaluate, and compare linear functions and use functions to model relationships between quantities. At the end of the course, students investigate patterns of association in bivariate data."

"In this course, students learn that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers. They work with radicals and integer exponents and use this knowledge to understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Students use transformations to show congruence and similarity. At the end of the course, students solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres."

"In this course, students learn about non-linear functions covered in the Common Core State Standards for Algebra 1. Students learn how to use transformations of functions based on parent functions. They construct exponential and quadratic functions and use them to solve problems. Students summarize, represent, and interpret data for a single variable."
