In 8th grade, students analyze, create and represent linear and simple non-linear functions in multiple ways to make connections between them, including mathematical concepts related to bivariate data and Pythagorean Theorem, and “real-world” situations like those arising from two & three dimensional space.
The Story of 8th Grade Math (How the Year Unfolds)
In grade 8, students begin their journey with understanding, comparing, identifying, and describing data. Their understanding of data will be enlarged to include multiple representations of linear equations and solving equations. Solving an equation will be extended to solve two equations simultaneously and applied to informally prove geometric properties and theorems. Students will continue to expand their work with equations to determine whether or not a relationship is a function. Students are introduced to the fact that there are nonlinear functions and explore their implications using major geometry concepts such as Pythagorean Theorem, volume, and approximating irrational numbers. Students learn the properties of exponents and apply this to scientific notation. Students wrap up the year exploring transformational geometry and its application to congruence and similarity.
