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.
Essential Standard
8.EE.A.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.
For example, 32 × 3–5 = 3–3 = 1/33 = 1/27.
8.EE.A.4 as application of 8.EE.A.1 Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology.
This standard was not been identified as "essential" by the design team; however, it is important for applications in science. Work with your science department make sure students gain access to this standard. Incorporate this standard as much as time permits to ensure application and transfer of knowledge learned in 8.EE.A.1.

8.EE.A.3 Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities and to express how many times as much one is than the other.
For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 × 10^8 and the population of the world as 7 × 10^9, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.
