By the end of grade eight, students will understand various numerical representations, including square roots, exponents and scientific notation; use and apply geometric properties of plane figures, including congruence and the Pythagorean theorem; use symbolic algebra to represent situations and solve problems, especially those that involve linear relationships; solve linear equations, systems of linear equations and inequalities; use equations, tables and graphs to analyze and interpret linear functions; use and understand set theory and simple counting techniques; determine the theoretical probability of simple events; and make inferences from statistical data, particularly data that can be modeled by linear functions.

Instruction and assessment should include the appropriate use of manipulatives and technology. Topics should be represented in multiple ways, such as concrete/pictorial, verbal/written, numeric/data-based, graphical, and symbolic. Concepts should be introduced and used, where appropriate, in the context of realistic phenomena.

GEOMETRY

Students will use and apply geometric properties of plane figures, including congruence and the Pythagorean theorem.

M8G1. Students will understand and apply the properties of parallel and

perpendicular lines and understand the meaning of congruence.

M8G2. Students will understand and use the Pythagorean theorem.

 

ALGEBRA

Students will use linear algebra to represent, analyze and solve problems. They will use equations, tables, and graphs to investigate linear relations and functions, paying particular attention to slope as a rate of change.

M8A1. Students will use algebra to represent, analyze, and solve problems.

M8A2. Students will understand and graph inequalities in one variable.

M8A3. Students will understand relations and linear functions.

M8A4 LinearGraph - Students will graph and analyze graphs of linear equations and inequalitites.

M8A5. Students will understand systems of linear equations and inequalities and use them to solve problems.

DATA ANALYSIS AND PROBABILITY

Students will use and understand set theory and simple counting techniques; determine the theoretical probability of simple events; and make inferences from data, particularly data that can be modeled by linear functions.

M8D1. Students will apply basic concepts of set theory.

M8D2. Students will determine the number of outcomes related to a given event.

M8D3. Students will use the basic laws of probability.

M8D4. Students will organize, interpret, and make inferences from statistical data

M8P1. Students will solve problems (using appropriate technology).

M8P2. Students will reason and evaluate mathematical arguments.

M8P3. Students will communicate mathematically.

M8P4. Students will make connections among mathematical ideas and to other

disciplines.

M8P5. Students will represent mathematics in multiple ways.
