Mathematics
Algebra:
Students are learning about Systems of Linear Equations (and Inequalities) and how to solve them in 3 ways. We're wrapping up Graphing through a Ski Resort Project and will be moving on to Substitution. This chapter is a great way to review all of the graphing and equation skills that we've been working on all year.
Pre-Algebra:
Students have learned how to find slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines, how to graph horizontal and vertical lines, as well as reviewed Proportional Relationships and Unit Rates (a 7th grade standard) to prepare for more graphing!

History
Students are using the database on Slavevoyages.org to learn about the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Students are asked to do a series of tasks that help them access the information on the site to aid in their learning about the topic. Through the lens of 8th grade US history we approach the impact of the slave trade on the United States.
