In this course, students will study Common Core 8th grade material that will include the following topics:
  • Linear Equations
  • Linear Functions (Analyzing and Multiple Representations)
  • The Real Number System
  • Pythagorean Theorem
  • Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
  • Congruence of Triangles
  • Similarity
  • Line and Angle Relationships
  • Systems of Equations
  • Properties of Exponents
  • Volume
  • Data Displays and Analysis

In addition we will address the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practices
  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
  2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
  3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
  4. Model with mathematics.
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
  6. Attend to precision.
  7. Look for and make use of structure.
  8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
