Math– Grade 8. The Math 8 curriculum links to and builds on students’ previous work with proportional reasoning,rational numbers, linear equations, geometric relationships, and statistical sampling. Areas of focus include solving linear equations and systems, using functions to describe quantitative relationships, analyzing geometric figures, and applying the Pythagorean Theorem. In order to solidify the foundation needed for the formal study of algebra and geometry, students are challenged to think and reason about mathematics, work collaboratively, and solve meaningful problems. After successfully completing this course, a student will be prepared to take Algebra I.
