Math Mammoth Grade 8-A Worktext is the first student book for eighth Grade mathematics, and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 8 complete curriculum.
After each chapter introduction, you will find a list of Internet links and resources (games, quizzes, animations, etc.) that can be used for fun, illustrations, and further practice..
All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext.
The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter.
It requires very little teacher preparation.: ) The curriculum has no separate teacher\'s manual nor is it scripted.
This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.
This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects.
The curriculum is mastery-oriented.
It explains the WHY, so students can understand the math, not just learn HOW to do it.
Features Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding.
Students construct functions to model linear relationships, learn to use the rate of change and initial value of the function, and they describe functions qualitatively based on their graphs.
Chapter 4 presents an introduction to functions.
Students both review and learn more about solving linear equations, including equations whose solutions require the usage of the distributive property and equations where the variable is on both sides.
Next, in chapter 3, our focus is on linear equations.
In chapter 2, students learn about geometric transformations (translations, reflections, rotations, dilations), common angle relationships, and volume of prisms, cylinders, spheres, and cones.
The first chapter also covers scientific notation (both with large and small numbers), significant digits, and calculations with numbers given in scientific notations.
This book starts with a study of exponent laws, using both numerical and algebraic expressions.
