Learning Goals
My instructional time will focus on 8th grade standards. Some critical areas of focus are: 1) Develop understanding of irrational numbers. 2. Develop understanding of expressions and equations, including solving linear equations, linear inequalities, and systems of linear equations. 3. Develop understanding of the concept of a function and use functions to describe quantitative relationships, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation. Please see the course description for a complete list of all the topics covered in this course.
