Math 8
We will be teaching some of the Math curriculum directly as well as through our Project Based Learning work in Explorations. The Core Competencies can be found here.
Big Ideas
Number represents, describes, and compares the quantities of ratios, rates, and percents.
Computational fluency and flexibility extend to operations with fractions.
Discrete linear relationships can be represented in many connected ways and used to identify and make generalizations.
The relationship between surface area and volume of 3D objects can be used to describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.

Students are expected to know the following:
perfect squares and cubes
square and cube roots
percents less than 1 and greater than 100 (decimal and fractional percents)
numerical proportional reasoning (rates, ratio, proportions, and percent)
operations with fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operations)
discrete linear relations (extended to larger numbers, limited to integers)
expressions- writing and evaluating using substitution
two-step equations with integer coefficients, constants, and solutions
surface area and volume of regular solids, including triangular and other right prisms and cylinders
Pythagorean theorem
construction, views, and nets of 3D objects
central tendency
theoretical probability with two independent events
financial literacy — best buys

Online Math
We will be using these online math resources to help us cover all the requirements in the curriculum. I will be giving lessons on the materials and it is up to you as an individual to complete the Learning Guide assignments. Your goal is to keep pace with the class. If you fall behind, you will need to see me at lunch in order to get caught up. We will complete the quizzes and tests online.

Prodigy - The Game
Prodigy is a math-based RPG where you solve problems and puzzles to advance your character! The game is simple: solve the problems and advance your characters!
Login with your Gedu login and password, and away you go!
You will be completing assignments as you work through the game. The assignments will not appear as assignments so you won't know that you're doing them, which will make the game more about fun!
