Grade 8
PrintGrade 8 introduces Functions as a formal domain alongside Expressions and Equations, Geometry, The Number System, and Statistics and Probability. Linear equations and systems are central, and irrational numbers extend the Number System. Geometry covers transformations, congruence, similarity, and the Pythagorean Theorem.
Example Problems
