8th Grade Mathematics

In eighth grade, we focus on the following topics: 1) increasing the ability to persevere in solving complex mathematical questions; 2) developing a greater understanding of expressions and equations; 3) modeling and solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems; 4) simplifying rational expressions; 45) solving problems with roots and exponents; 6) using functions to describe quantitative relationships; 7) analyzing two- and three-dimensional figures using distance, angle, similarity, congruence, and the Pythagorean Theorem; 8) applying mathematical reasoning to solve real world questions taken from our physics main lesson block and selected current events; and 9) high school readiness.
