8th Grade Connected Math
This course covers the topics listed below. Students continue to grow in their knowledge of mathematics using the strategies and concepts learned in the previous two years. Units will cover:
• Functions: an introduction to modeling with linear and other functions
• Pythagorean Theorem: right triangles, slope, area and irrational numbers
• Exponential growth: graphing and writing exponential functions
• Quadratic growth: graphing, writing, and solving quadratic functions
• Symbolic expressions: simplifying expressions and solving more complicated linear equations
• Transformational geometry: symmetries and their relationship to algebraic properties
Statistics: gathering data from samples to make predictions about populations
