Topic: Creating a Table of Values, Part 2

We will continue practising creating a table of values to find coordinate point. This week we will practice with equations that are not in the slope-intercept form of y = mx + b. They will be in the standard form of Ax + By = C.

Watch the video to see how it is done and do the worksheet.

Topic: Creating a Table of Values

A linear equation in two variables describes a relationship in which the value of one of the variables depends on the value of the other variable.

For this week's assignment, watch the following videos and study the website link and then do the worksheet.

Topic: Introduction to Coordinate Geometry

This week, we will start the unit on Linear Relations. Coordinate geometry is where the position of the points on the plane (grid) is defined with the help of an ordered pair of numbers also known as coordinates. It is much like the game called Battleship, where you identify the location of the strike by calling out the horizontal and vertical intersecting points.

For this week's assignment, watch the following video and try the interactive website and then do the worksheet.

Topic: Nets and Surface Area of Cylinders

The net of a cylinder consist of two circles and a rectangle. Think of taking the ends off of a soup can, then cutting it down the side and laying the can out flat. What you end up with is the two same circular ends and the side of the can, which is in the shape of a rectangle when laid out flat. To find the total surface area, find the area of one of the circles, then double it (because you have two circular ends in a cylinder) and add it to the area of the rectangle.

For this week's assignment, watch the following videos and do the worksheet.

Topic: Nets and Surface Area of Rectangular and Triangular Prisms

The net of a solid figure is formed when a solid figure is unfolded along its edges and its faces are laid out in a pattern in two dimensions. Nets of triangular prisms are made up of rectangles and triangles. Nets of rectangular prisms are made up of rectangles and squares. The surface area is the sum of the areas of the rectangles and triangles of triangular prisms and the rectangles and squares of rectangular prisms.

For this week's assignment, watch the following video and do the worksheet.

Topic: Isometric drawings (Representing 3D Objects)

Isometric drawing is a way to represent 3D objects in 2D. You see it often in occupations such as architecture, interior design and engineering. In isometric drawings, you always see three views of the object: the top, the side, and the front.

Here is a short video explaining isometric drawing:

Term 3 - At Home Learning

8 April 2020

I hope you are all well. From the response to the Google Classroom sign ups, it seems that everyone is eager to get back to learning some math!

Fortunately for you, we have covered most of the topics in Math 8. We have only a couple of topics left. After those topics, we will do a review of the year to make sure you have all the necessary skills for the next level.

The main topics will be: Volume, Linear Relations, Year End Review. Each topic will take 2-4 weeks to cover. The weekly topic will be updated one week at a time on the Google Classroom. So for example, next week's topic will be:

14 April - Volume (rectangular & triangular prisms, cylinders)

20 April -

27 April -

The weeks following will be updated as we go along, depending how everyone is doing.

I will post a video that demonstrates the week's topic and an activity or worksheet that you can do to practice.

At the moment, if you have any questions you can email me at wyamazaki@deltalearns.ca or post the question to the Google Classroom.
