Math 8 is a course designed to prepare eighth grade students for high school algebra and beyond. The focus of this course is to build on foundational math skills while introducing more advanced topics such as linear equations, functions, geometry, and statistics. Students develop critical thinking and problem-solving strategies through real-world applications and mathematical modeling. They will also strengthen their understanding of number systems, proportional reasoning, and the connections between algebra and geometry. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the skills needed for success in Algebra 1 and future math courses.
