Math 8
Description:
Mathematics used in real life situations to enable participants to gain the skills required to be successful in various trades.
Content:
The Big Ideas that you need to be able understand are as follows:
The Big Ideas will be developed by considering the following topics, which will be covered in various degrees of detail over the course (PLOs).
- Numbers can be represented in many forms and reflect different relationships.
- Computational fluency and flexibility extend to operations with fractions.
- Discrete linear relationships can be represented in many connected ways and used to identify and
make generalizations. - The relationship between surface area and volume of 3D objects can be used to describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.
- Analyzing data by determining averages is one way to make sense of large data sets and enables us to compare and interpret.
The Big Ideas will be developed by considering the following topics, which will be covered in various degrees of detail over the course (PLOs).
- perfect squares and cubes
- square and cube roots
- percents less than 1 and greater than 100 (decimal and fractional percents)
- numerical proportional reasoning (rates, ratio, proportions, and percent)
- operations with fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operations)
- discrete linear relations (extended to larger numbers, limited to integers)
- expressions- writing and evaluating using substitution
- two-step equations with integer coefficients, constants, and solutions
- surface area and volume of regular solids, including triangular and other right prisms and cylinders
- Pythagorean theorem
- construction, views, and nets of 3D objects
- central tendency
- theoretical probability with two independent events
- financial literacy — best buys
