Grade 8
PrintLinear equations and systems of two variables are the core algebraic focus. Functions become central: students analyze linear functions and encounter nonlinear ones. The Pythagorean theorem, geometric transformations (rotations, reflections, translations, dilations), scatter plots, exponents, scientific notation, irrational numbers, and volume formulas for cones, cylinders, and spheres all come together this year.
