Maths Grade 8

Weekly 1 hour session.

Grade 8 Mathematics in Australia follows the Australian Curriculum and aims to enhance students' mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. The key subject areas for Grade 8 Mathematics are:

1. Number and Algebra

   • Number and Place Value: Working with integers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. Developing efficient mental and written strategies for computations.
   • Real Numbers: Understanding and solving problems involving rational and irrational numbers. Performing operations with fractions, decimals, and percentages.
   • Patterns and Algebra: Identifying, describing, and continuing number patterns. Simplifying algebraic expressions, solving linear equations, and understanding the use of variables in algebraic expressions.
   • Linear and Non-linear Relationships: Graphing linear equations, understanding the concepts of slope and intercept, and solving problems involving linear functions. Exploring simple non-linear relationships such as quadratics.

2. Measurement and Geometry

   • Using Units of Measurement: Converting between units of measurement for length, area, volume, and capacity. Solving problems involving the perimeter, area, and volume of various geometric shapes and solids.
   • Geometric Reasoning: Understanding and applying properties of geometric figures, including triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles. Solving problems involving congruence and similarity. Investigating angle properties and using them to solve problems.
   • Pythagoras and Trigonometry: Applying Pythagoras' theorem to find unknown side lengths in right-angled triangles. Understanding and using trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, and tangent) to solve problems involving right-angled triangles.

3. Statistics and Probability

   • Chance: Understanding and describing probabilities using fractions, decimals, and percentages. Conducting experiments and using data to make predictions about outcomes. Recognizing and comparing different types of events (certain, likely, unlikely, impossible).
   • Data Representation and Interpretation: Collecting, organizing, and displaying data using various methods, including tables, bar graphs, histograms, and scatter plots. Interpreting data to draw conclusions and make inferences. Understanding measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (range, interquartile range).

These subject areas ensure that students develop a solid foundation in mathematics, preparing them for more advanced concepts in higher grades.
