Grade 8 Math

Course Overview: The conceptual framework for Grade 8 mathematics describes the nature of mathematics, mathematical processes, and the mathematical concepts to be addressed in Grade 8 mathematics. The components are not meant to stand alone. Activities that take place in the mathematics classroom should stem from a problem-solving approach, be based on mathematical processes, and lead students to an understanding of the nature of mathematics through specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes among and between strands. Concepts will be taught in isolation to ensure that children have an understanding of the concept before they will be asked to use it to solve problems or activities. Textbook(s)/Materials Required: Math Makes Sense & Math Power and handouts at the teachers discretion, binder, scribbler for notes, scribbler for daily math, pencil, pens both- red and blue, ruler, calculator, geometry set, erasers, math assignment scribbler.
