This course is designed to go through all of the 8th Grade Common Core Math Standards in a year. To make it easier on parents, I have divided the course into 4 sections. This is section 2 of 4.

In this full year class, students will learn the following:
 
The Number System- Approximate Real Numbers; Perform Real Number Operations
Expressions and Equations- Use Radicals and Integer Exponents; Connect Proportional Relationships and Lines; Solve Systems of Equations
Functions- Define, Evaluate, and Compare Functions; Model Relationships
Geometry- Understand Similarity; Apply the Pythagorean Theorem; Apply Volume Formulas
Statistics and Probability- Analyze Bivariate Formulas

In most classes, 1 sheet of homework will be assigned. We will review the homework the first 10-15 minutes of class with an open discussion. We will then move into the new topic where I will have a lecture over the new material. Students are welcome to ask questions throughout the lesson by raising their hand. Some classes will have games that we will play to reinforce what we have learned. There will be quizzes throughout the session. I will grade these so that you can see the progress that your child is making.

-Writing equations in slope-intercept form
-Writing equations using a slope and a point
-Writing equations using 2 points
