Common Core Math Activities For Grade 8

In 8th grade, the main areas of focus for teaching should be: (1) understanding and working with equations and expressions, interpreting data with linear equations, and solving both linear equations and systems of them; (2) comprehending functions and utilizing them to explain relationships in numbers; (3) studying and interpreting two and three-dimensional shapes and space using measurements, similarity, congruence, and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

1. Students utilize linear equations and systems of linear equations to depict, examine, and find solutions for a range of problems.
2. Students understand a function as a rule that links each input to only one output.
3. Students apply concepts of distance and angles, as well as their transformations (translations, rotations, reflections, dilations) and concepts of congruence and similarity, to analyze and describe two-dimensional shapes and to solve problems.
