This curriculum map is a constantly monitored and edited document by building specific administration and teachers. Changes may occur throughout the school year to stay updated with state requirements. Any questions regarding content should be directed towards the teacher of your child’s class or content area.
This 9 weeks is broken into the following topics:
Rational numbers, irrational numbers, exponents and their rules, solving equations and inequalities with various increasing difficulty.
Solve real-world problems with rational numbers by using multiple operations.
Know and understand the difference between a rational and irrational number.
Classify a number as being either rational or irrational.
Show that the decimal representation of rational numbers terminates or repeats.
Convert a repeating decimal into a fraction.
Approximate the decimal value of an irrational number.
Compare the approximate value of decimals and plot them on a number line.
Explain how to find the decimal approximations of irrational numbers.
Know and understand the effect of a zero exponent.
Know and understand the properties negative exponent.
Infer and apply the integer exponent rule for multiplication and division of common base.
Utilize the rule for power-to-power involving integer exponents.
Apply to rules of negative and zero exponents.
Generate equivalent expressions using integer exponents.
Solve linear equations in one variable.
Solve a linear equation by using the distributive property and combining like terms.
Write and solve equations and inequalities in one variable to represent real-world problems.
Simplify a linear equation to determine whether it has one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions.
Create linear equations with one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions.
Explain how to manipulate the equations to generate a no solution, no solution or infinitely many solution equation.
Interpret the solution to the equation in the context of the given problem.
8.NS.4: Solve real-world problems with rational numbers by using multiple operations. (E)
8.NS.1: Give examples of rational and irrational numbers and explain the difference between them. State decimal equivalents for any number. For rational numbers, show that the decimal equivalent terminates or repeats, and convert a repeating decimal into a rational number.
8.NS.2: Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, plot them approximately on a number line, and estimate the value of expressions involving irrational numbers.
8.NS.3: Given a numeric expression with common rational number bases and integer exponents, apply the properties of exponents to generate equivalent expressions. (E)
8.AF.1: Solve linear equations and inequalities with rational number coefficients fluently, including those whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. Represent real-world problems using linear equations and inequalities in one variable and solve such problems. (E)
8.AF.2: Generate linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Justify the classification given.
