Students Guide the Learning in Math 8.
When Students have the opportunity to make their own connections, they begin to develop a deeper understanding of how their world works. Math 8 is focused on the concept of how numbers can describe the ways that things change. Throughout the year, we will be learning how to notice, analyze, predict and describe changes in the world.
OUR CURRICULUM
We will be using CPM (College Preparatory Mathematics) as one of many resources to guide our learning. You will have access to course materials through textbooks, the internet, and handouts. The emphasis is on building a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts and practices.
HOMEWORK
Most weeks students will have one page of homework that is due on the following Monday. There will also be a posted solution key. Students will learn best if they attempt to do the work on their own before checking the key.
Each week, one of the Math 8 teachers will post their work (the key) along with the number of minutes it took them to complete the work. If a student is taking more that 4 times as long, they should come in for help.
