Connecticut Standards - Grade 8 Math

The state of Connecticut has prescribed that students of Grade 8 Math master certain topics. The topics are listed below. Each of these topics/strands are covered in TenMarks, helping students refresh their knowledge, as well as learn as they practice - resulting in mastery.

1.1 Understand and describe patterns and functional relationships.

1.1.a Analyze physical phenomena, functions and patterns to identify relationships and make generalizations.

1.2 Represent and analyze quantitative relationships in a variety of ways.

1.2.a Describe the effects of characteristics of linear relationships on the way the relationships are represented verbally and in tables, graphs and equations.

1.3 Use operations, properties and algebraic symbols to determine equivalence and solve problems.

1.3.a Solve problems using various algebraic methods and properties

2.1 Understand that a variety of numerical representations can be used to describe quantitative relationships.

2.1.a Compare and order integers, powers and roots using number lines and grids.

2.1.b Extend the understanding of scientific notation to very small numbers.

2.2 Use numbers and their properties to compute flexibly and fluently, and to reasonably estimate measures and quantities.

2.2.a Solve problems involving fractions, decimals, ratios and percents.

2.2.b Make generalizations about operations with very large and very small numbers.

2.2.c Connect the exponential growth and decay models to repeated multiplication by the same factor.

3.1 Use properties and characteristics of two- and three-dimensional shapes and geometric theorems to describe relationships, communicate ideas and solve problems.

3.1.a Explore the relationships among sides, angles, perimeters, areas, surface areas and volumes of congruent and similar polygons and solids
