About Grade 8

Grade 8 is pre-algebra finished and algebra begun. Linear equations take centre stage: students graph lines, understand slope and y-intercept, solve equations with variables on both sides, and solve pairs of simultaneous equations. Functions are defined and compared, exponents and scientific notation handle very large and very small numbers, and square roots and irrational numbers extend the number system. Geometry covers transformations (translations, reflections, rotations and dilations), the Pythagorean theorem and the volume of cylinders, cones and spheres. Statistics adds scatter plots and lines of best fit. The worksheets on this page cover the whole syllabus, with the linear equations and functions pages the ones to prioritise before Algebra 1.
