Mathematics 8 prepares students for more difficult mathematics courses by exposing students to foundational arithmetic concepts. Students in this course examine the elements of geometry by being introduced to angles, lines, and points. Students apply this knowledge to graphs using coordinate planes and by completing calculations between two points’ distances. Students also study scientific notation, which assists them in computations and provides a framework for more difficult calculations. Students will also analyze bivariate data using scatterplots and two-way tables.
