Eighth Grade Mathematics
Mathematics is indispensable for understanding our world. In addition to providing the tools of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and statistics, it offers a way of thinking about patterns and relationships of quantity and space and the connections among them. Mathematical reasoning allows us to devise and evaluate methods for solving problems, make and test conjectures about properties and relationships, and model the world around us.
| Standards and Grade Level Expectations | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number Sense, Properties, and Operations | 1 | In the real number system, rational and irrational numbers are in one to one correspondence to points on the number line |
| Patterns, Functions, and Algebraic Structures | 1 | Linear functions model situations with a constant rate of change and can be represented numerically, algebraically, and graphically | 2 | Properties of algebra and equality are used to solve linear equations and systems of equations | 3 | Graphs, tables and equations can be used to distinguish between linear and nonlinear functions |
| Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability | 1 | Visual displays and summary statistics of two-variable data condense the information in data sets into usable knowledge |
| Shape, Dimension, and Geometric Relationships | 1 | Transformations of objects can be used to define the concepts of congruence and similarity | 2 | Direct and indirect measurement can be used to describe and make comparisons |
