Welcome to Math 8!

  • 2024-2025 Math 8 Unit Overview - Richmond County School System

     

    Much of the Grade 8 mathematics curriculum focuses on functions and linear relationships as building blocks to algebra and geometry. In this course, students will create, interpret, solve, and graph linear equations and inequalities in one variable, analyze the connections between proportional and non-proportional lines and equations, extend their knowledge of numerical reasoning and real numbers to include irrational numbers, develop an understanding of the properties of exponents, perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, apply their geometric and spatial reasoning to interpret and solve problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem.

    PLEASE NOTE: IF STUDENTS ARE ABSENT, ALL WORK FOR THE COURSE CAN BE FOUND VIA CANVAS. If a student does not have computer access at home, the parent/student should contact me for a printed copy. 

     

    **Due to the events of Hurricane Helene and the recent snow storm, the pace for the year has been completely off. We will work through Unit 2, combine Unit 3 into scaffolding with unit 4. We will combine Units 5 and 6 with progress monitoring checks every two days.**
