Grade 8 - Mathematics
Algebra I: Part 1 (Credit: 0.50)Algebra I: Part 1 topic areas include algebraic expressions and equations, writing numbers in exponential form, using standard and scientific calculators, integers, absolute values, review of additive identity, like
terms, using reciprocals to solve problems, evaluating expressions using order of operations, inverse operations, eliminating fractions, identification of the x-and y-axes, linear equations, graphing with constants, rules of exponents, binomials, trinomials, using the FOIL method, factoring out monomials, trinomial squares, and quadratic equations.
Algebra I: Part 2 (Credit: 0.50)Algebra I: Part 2 continues coursework from the Algebra I: Part 1 title that covers finding solutions of linear systems of equations by graphing, eliminating variables, motion problems, using negative one as a factor, identifying the least common multiple of expressions, ratio and proportion, using inequalities to solve problems, equations with absolute values, irrational numbers, radical expressions, finding the value of a function, using vertex and axis of symmetry or the T-table, problem solving involving joint and combined variation, and identifying and evaluating the discriminant of a quadratic equation.
Mathematics 8 (Credit: 1.00)Mathematics VIII strengthens mathematical knowledge and ability in the areas of rounding numbers, positive and negative rational numbers, order of operations, proportion, scales, randomly occurring events, counting principle factorials, introduction to algebra, points, rays, quadrilaterals, polyhedrons, cones, formulas for the area of plane figures, the Pythagorean Theorem, statistics, translating word phrases into algebraic expressions with integers, slope, binomials, determinants, and Cramer's rule.
Pre-Algebra (Credit: 1.00)GC Pre-Algebra is a transitional mathematics course for grade levels 8-9. The purpose of this course is to shift the learner from the concrete world of arithmetic into the abstract world of algebra. The first step in this process involves performing operations with integers. The student is then introduced to variables and learns how to use them in simplifying expressions, adding like terms, and solving equations and inequalities. Next, the basic rules of exponents are explored, and the coordinate plane is introduced. The concepts of fractions, ratios, proportions, and percentages are reviewed. Finally, the student is introduced to probability, statistics, and geometry.
