Grade Six Resources

What should a sixth grade student practice?

  • Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems
  • Fluently use all four operations (using whole numbers and decimals), including division using a standard algorithm
  • Practice all four operations with fractions, including dividing fractions by fractions
  • Use positive and negative numbers in a context (Do not include operations with integers)
  • Solve one variable equations and inequalities
  • Solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume

Math Activities Hyperdoc ~ Great 6th grade resources provided by your awesome math teachers Ms Cobb and Ms Connery!

Grade Seven Resources

What should a seventh grade student practice?

  • Practice with proportional relationships and how to use them to solve real-world problems
  • Solve percent problems involving simple interest, tax, markups/markdowns, gratuities/commissions, fees, percent increase/decrease, percent error
  • Solve problems involving positive and negative numbers
  • Practice with all four operations with fractions
  • Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations
  • Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume

Grade Eight Resources

What should an eighth grade student practice?

If you are taking Introduction to Algebra, you should practice:

  • Review concepts involving transformational geometry ~ translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations
  • Convert numbers into scientific notation form and vice-versa
  • Simplify expressions involving exponents
  • Explain how proportions and linear equations are related. For example, explain the slope of a line as a unit rate.
  • Solve single and paired linear equations. For ex, if 3x + 5 = 11, then x = 2.
  • Compare functions shown in different forms, like a table of values and a graph.
  • Explain how angles inside and outside of a triangle are related.
  • Explain how angles created by two parallel lines being cut by another line are related.

If you are taking Algebra I, you should practice the material listed above as well as:

  • The definition and examples of a function
  • Factoring expressions
  • Solving quadratic equations by factoring. Projectile motion, word problems involving consecutive integers, odd/even integers
  • Pythagorean theorem solving for missing side
  • Using square root function to solve quadratic problems for perfect squares
  • Suggested topics to begin studying (recommend using Khan Academy to learn about and practice this material):
    • Completing the square to solve quadratic equations
    • Using the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations
