Common+Core+Grade+8


 * Common Core Grade 8**


 * In Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three critical areas:**
 * 1.** formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations;
 * 2.** grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships;
 * 3**. analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

• Work with radicals and integer exponents. • Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. • Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. || __Geometry__ • Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. • Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. • Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones and spheres. || • Define, evaluate, and compare functions. • Use functions to model relationships between quantities. || __The Number System__ • Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers. || • Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data ||  ||
 * Overview broken down by category:**
 * __Expressions and Equations__
 * __Functions__
 * __Statistics and Probability__

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
