Course Overview

In 8th grade, students will build upon their knowledge and understanding of generating equivalent expressions, ratios and proportions, exponents, and volume of prisms gained in 6th and 7th grade. In this course, students will apply their knowledge of expressions both algebraically and geometrically. Students will explore congruence and similarity of figures in the coordinate plane and write algebraic expressions to describe the transformations. Students will use their knowledge of generating equivalent expressions to solve single-variable linear equations. They will analyze the solution set to include one solution, no solutions, and infinitely many solutions. Students will build upon their understanding of proportional relationships to create linear functions in a graph, table of values, equation, and story problem. They will then examine the similarities and differences between linear and non-linear models, exploring the commonalities and differences among rational and irrational numbers. Students will approximate the location of simple square and cube root values on a number line. Students will expand upon their understanding of volume of prisms to know and apply the formulas for volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. Students will apply their knowledge of linear relationships to analyze and make conjectures about two-way data displays, tying together the components of this course. The 8th grade standards have been divided into six critical areas, or units, as follows.

Common Core State Standards Explanations/Examples Resources 8.EE.C: Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

8.EE.C.7 Solve linear equations in one variable. a. Give examples of linear equations in one

variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).

b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

8.EE.C.7 As students transform linear equations in one variable into simpler forms, they discover the equations can have one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. When the equation has one solution, the variable has one value that makes the equation true as in 12 − 4𝑦𝑦 = 16. The only value for y that makes this equation true is -1. When the equation has infinitely many solutions, the equation is true for all real numbers as in 7x + 14 = 7 (x+2). This equation simplifies to 14 = 14 or 0 = 0. Since the expressions are equivalent, the value for the two sides of the equation will be the same regardless which real number is used for the substitution. When an equation has no solutions it is also called an inconsistent equation. This is the case when the two expressions are not equivalent as in 5𝑥𝑥 − 2 = 5(𝑥𝑥 + 1). When simplifying this equation, students will find that the solution appears to be two numbers that are not equal or -2 = 1. In this case, regardless which real number is used for the substitution, the equation is not true and therefore has no solution.

8.F.A.2 (continued) 8.F.A.2 (continued) Solution:

Function 1 is an example of a function whose graph has negative slope. Samantha starts with $20 and spends money each week. The amount of money left on the gift card decreases each week. The graph has a negative slope of -3.5, which is the amount the gift card balance decreases with Samantha’s weekly magazine purchase. Function 2 is an example of a function whose graph has positive slope. Students pay a yearly nonrefundable fee for renting the calculator and pay $5 for each month they rent the calculator. This function has a positive slope of 5, which is the amount of the monthly rental fee. An equation for Example 2 could be c = 5m + 10.

8.F.B: Use functions to model relationships between quantities. 8.F.B.4 Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from the description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

8.F.B.4 • The table below shows the cost of renting a car. The

company charges $45 a day for the car as well as charging a one-time $25 fee for the car’s navigation system (GPS). Write an expression for the cost in dollars, c, as a function of the number of days, d.

Students might write the equation c = 45d + 25 using the verbal description or by first making a table.

Days (d)

Cost (c) in dollars

1 70 2 115 3 160 4 205

Students should recognize that the rate of change is 45 (the cost of renting the car) and that initial cost (the first day charge) also includes paying for the navigation system. Classroom discussion about one time fees vs. recurrent fees will help students model contextual situations.

• When scuba divers come back to the surface of the water, they need to be careful not to ascend too quickly. Divers should not come to the surface more quickly than a rate of 0.75 ft per second. If the divers start at a depth of 100 feet, the equation d = 0.75t – 100 shows the relationship between the time of the ascent in seconds (t) and the distance from the surface in feet (d).

8.EE.C: Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. 8.EE.C.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. a. Understand that solutions to a system of

two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.

b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3𝑥𝑥 + 2𝑦𝑦 = 5 and 3𝑥𝑥 + 2𝑦𝑦 = 6 have no solution because 3𝑥𝑥 + 2𝑦𝑦 cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.

c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second par.

8.EE.C.8 Systems of linear equations can also have one solution, infinitely many solutions or no solutions. Students will discover these cases as they graph systems of linear equations and solve them algebraically.

A system of linear equations whose graphs meet at one point (intersecting lines) has only one solution, the ordered pair representing the point of intersection. A system of linear equations whose graphs do not meet (parallel lines) has no solutions and the slopes of these lines are the same. A system of linear equations whose graphs are coincident (the same line) has infinitely many solutions, the set of ordered pairs representing all the points on the line.

By making connections between algebraic and graphical solutions and the context of the system of linear equations, students are able to make sense of their solutions. Students need opportunities to work with equations and context that include whole number and/or decimals/fractions.

Unit 4: (E3) Exponential Expressions and Equations

In this unit students will expand upon their understanding of rational numbers, with integer exponents, developed in 7th grade, to analyze properties of exponents. Students will explore beyond the rational numbers to investigate irrational numbers, including square and cube roots. Students will build upon their knowledge of exponents to generate equivalent exponential expressions. They will apply their understanding of exponents to estimate small and large numbers using scientific notation. Students will analyze their answer using appropriate units of measure. Students will conceptually understand the similarities and differences between rational and irrational numbers. They will be able to create a rational approximation for irrational numbers, including square and cube roots, and locate them on a number line. Building upon their understanding of square roots, students will solve simple square and cube root equations. They will then apply their understanding of irrational numbers and solving square root equations to the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will be able to prove the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, applying it to two- and three-dimensions.

Solution: Students start with a rough estimate based upon perfect squares. √5 falls between 2 and 3 because 5 falls between 22 = 4 and 32 = 9. The value will be closer to 2 than to 3. Students continue the iterative process with the tenths place value. √5 falls between 2.2 and 2.3 because 5 falls between 2.22 = 4.84 and 2.32 = 5.29. The value is closer to 2.2. Further iteration shows that the value of √5 is between 2.23 and 2.24 since 2.232 is 4.9729 and 2.242 is 5.0176.

• Compare √2 and √3 by estimating their values, plotting them on a number line, and making comparative statements.

Students can use this linear model to solve problems. For example, through substitution, they can use the equation to determine that a student with 4 absences should expect to receive a math score of about 62. They can then compare this value to their line.

8.SP.A.4 Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
