8th Grade Math

Welcome to 8th Grade Math. I am extremely excited to work with you this year as we work to develop our knowledge of Grade 8 mathematics. 8th Grade Math "is about (1) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations; (2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships; (3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean theorem ." (Eureka Math Curriculum Overview, p. 24)

We will work through the following Modules:

• Module 1: Integer Exponents and Scientific Notation

• Module 2: The Concept of Congruence

• Module 3: Similarity

• Module 4: Linear Equations

• Module 5: Examples of Functions from Geometry

• Module 6: Linear Functions

• Module 7: Introduction to Irrational Numbers Using Geometry

Algebra 1

SpringBoard Algebra 1 will focus on preparing students for College and Career Success. In Algebra, students "(1) gain an understanding of the properties of real numbers; (2) formalize the language of functions; (3) explore the behavior of functions numerically, graphically, analytically, and verbally; (4) use technology to discover relationships, test conjectures, and solve problems; (5) Write expressions, equations, and inequalities from physical models; (6) communicate mathematics understanding formally and informally." (SpringBoard p.xv)

We will work through the following units:

• Unit 1: Equations and Inequalities

• Unit 2: Functions

• Unit 3: Extensions of Linear Concepts

• Unit 4: Exponents, Radicals, and Polynomials

• Unit 5: Quadratic Functions

• Unit 6: Probability and Statistics
