In 2020 I created quite a few algebra videos for the students of Glendowie Primary School. You can locate them on my 2020 Google Site. You might find them helpful. Year 8 includes Algebraic Graphs, which we have been doing also. We are also going to take a little time this week to check out the best way to use Mathletics, and decide if we think it is worth the money.

Today (Thursday the 16th of September) students really wanted to attempt expanding binomial expressions. We used Transum and Maths is Fun plus I taught the box method which helped quite a few students. This was a really exciting moment for me because the students were so determined to do this, even though it was ambitious given their current exposure to algebraic manipulation. I was impressed by their success through thinking deeply and asking for help when they needed it. Awesome Mahi!

Note that working with quadratics is Level 5 (Year 10) of the New Zealand Curriculum.
Equations and expressions: Form and solve linear and simple quadratic equations.
In order to solve simple quadratic expressions we need to know how to expand and factorise them. Quadratics are not in Level 4 of the NZC at all, however, this causes issues at secondary school level as students are expected to learn way too much content in too short a space of time. Learning some of the basics now will really help students succeed at secondary school mathematics.
