8th Grade - Algebra
This course is the first half of a two-part Algebra course focused on linear functions by exploring their multiple representations (tables, equations, graphs, contexts). Students will solve multi-step linear equations and inequalities with real numbers including absolute values, solve systems of linear equations, interpret data with lines of best fit, utilize the Pythagorean theorem, explore properties of radicals and exponents, and apply this learning to solve real-world mathematical problems. This course prepares students to be mathematically literate, as well as prepare them for future math courses, the 8th grade MN Math Standards, and MN standardized math tests.
