Mathematics
Grade 8 · US Curriculum Standards
Grade 8 is the bridge into high school algebra: linear equations and functions, and solving systems of two linear equations. Students formally study what a function is and how to represent one.
Geometry covers congruence and similarity through transformations (rotations, reflections, translations, dilations), the Pythagorean theorem, and volume of cylinders, cones and spheres. Scatter plots and bivariate data introduce a first look at statistical relationships between two variables.
