8th grade
Eighth-grade mathematics typically covers a range of topics that build foundational skills for high school. Key areas of focus include algebra, where students solve linear equations and inequalities, and work with functions. Geometry is explored through concepts such as the properties of shapes, the Pythagorean theorem, and transformations. Students also delve into statistics and probability, analyzing data sets and understanding measures of central tendency. Additionally, the introduction of the coordinate plane enables students to graph equations and understand relationships between variables. Throughout the course, problem-solving, critical thinking, and the application of mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios are emphasized.
