What can I expect from Math 8?

Math 8 will focus on developing strong problem solving and critical thinking skills, not just rote memorization. We'll be looking at topics that extend students' knowledge from Math 7 such as solving equations, angles, and volume/surface area. In addition, we will be exploring topics that prepare students for Algebra 1 next year, such as graphing equations, exponents, and systems of equations.

Students will be working in groups on a daily basis, and they will be asked to not only produce correct work, but also to correctly explain it. It is my belief that all students have the ability to be successful mathematicians, but it takes persistence, patience, and a positive attitude.

Think about class as a workout for your brain!
