Louisiana Standards - Grade 8 Math

The state of Louisiana 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.
Standard N: In problem-solving investigations, students demonstrate an understanding of the real number system and communicate the relationships within that system using a variety of techniques and tools.
 
N-1-M demonstrating that a rational number can be expressed in many forms, and selecting an appropriate form for a given situation
 
N-2-M demonstrating number sense and estimation skills to describe, order, and compare rational numbers
 
N-3-M reading, writing, representing, and using rational numbers in a variety of forms
 
N-4-M demonstrating a conceptual understanding of the meaning of the basic arithmetic operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) and their relationships to each other;
 
N-5-M applying an understanding of rational numbers and arithmetic operations to real-life situations;
 
N-6-M constructing, using, and explaining procedures to compute and estimate with rational numbers employing mental math strategies;
 
N-7-M selecting and using appropriate computational methods and tools for given situations involving rational numbers
 
N-8-M demonstrating a conceptual understanding and applications of proportional reasoning
Standard A: In problem-solving investigations students demonstrate an understanding of concepts and processes that allow them to analyze, represent, and describe relationships among variable quantities and to apply algebraic methods to real-world situations.
 
A-1-M demonstrating a conceptual understanding of variables, expressions, equations, and inequalities
 
A-2-M modeling and developing methods for solving equations and inequalities
 
A-3-M representing situations and number patterns with tables, graphs, and verbal and written statements, while exploring the relationships among these representations
 
A-4-M analyzing tables and graphs to identify relationships exhibited by the data and making generalizations based upon these relationships;
 
A-5-M demonstrating the connection of algebra to the other strands and to real-life situations.
Standard M: In problem-solving investigations, students demonstrate an understanding of the concepts, processes, and real-life applications of measurement.
 
M-1-M applying the concepts of length, area, surface area, volume, capacity, weight, mass, money, time, temperature, and rate to real-world experiences;
 
M-2-M demonstrating an intuitive sense of measurement
 
M-3-M selecting appropriate units and tools for tasks by considering the purpose for the measurement and the precision required for the task
 
M-4-M using intuition and estimation skills to describe, order, and compare formal and informal measures (e.g., ordering cup, pint, quart, gallon; comparing a meter to a yard);
 
M-5-M converting from one unit of measurement to another within the same system (Comparisons between systems, customary and metric, should be based on intuitive reference points, not formal computation.);
 
M-6-M demonstrating the connection of measurement to the other strands and to real-life situations.
Standard G: In problem-solving investigations, students demonstrate an understanding of geometric concepts and applications involving one-, two-, and three-dimensional geometry, and justify their findings.
 
G-1-M using estimation skills to describe, order, and compare geometric measures;
 
G-2-M identifying, describing, comparing, constructing, and classifying geometric figures and concepts;
 
G-3-M making predictions regarding transformations of geometric figures
 
G-4-M constructing two- and three-dimensional models;
 
G-5-M making and testing conjectures about geometric shapes and their properties;
 
G-6-M demonstrating an understanding of the coordinate system
 
G-7-M demonstrating the connection of geometry to the other strands and to real-life situations
Standard D: In problem-solving investigations, students discover trends, formulate conjectures regarding cause-and-effect relationships, and demonstrate critical thinking skills in order to make informed decisions.
 
D-1-M systematically collecting, organizing, describing, and displaying data in charts, tables, plots, graphs, and/or spreadsheets;
 
D-2-M analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, drawing inferences, and making estimations, predictions, decisions, and convincing arguments based on organized data
 
D-3-M describing informal thinking procedures (e.g., solving elementary logic problems using Venn diagrams, tables, charts, and/or elementary logic operatives to solve logic problems in real-life situations; reach valid conclusions in elementary logic problems involving and, or, not, if/then);
 
D-4-M analyzing various counting and enumeration procedures with and without replacement
 
D-5-M comparing experimental probability results with theoretical probability
 
D-6-M demonstrating the connection of data analysis, probability, and discrete math to other strands and to real-life situations.
Standard P: In problem-solving investigations, students demonstrate an understanding of patterns, relations, and functions that represent and explain real-world situations.
 
P-1-M describing, extending, analyzing, and creating a wide variety of numerical, geometrical, and statistical patterns.
 
P-2-M describing and representing relationships using tables, rules, simple equations, and graphs;
 
P-3-M analyzing relationships to explain how a change in one quantity results in a change in another
 
P-4-M demonstrating the pervasive use of patterns, relations, and functions in other strands and in real-life situations.
