Description
Mathematics 8 brings together the ideas students have been building toward high school. Students explore linear equations and functions, work with exponents and scientific notation, and study angles, transformations, and the Pythagorean Theorem. Regular problem solving and clear explanations help students reason like mathematicians.
What students learn
- Solve and graph linear equations and systems of equations
- Understand functions and describe how quantities change together
- Use exponents, roots, and scientific notation accurately
- Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve geometric problems
- Describe transformations and similarity in the coordinate plane
- Communicate mathematical reasoning clearly and precisely
Signature project
Students model a real-world trend with a linear function and explain their predictions.
