Aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for 8th-grade mathematics, this course focuses on three critical areas:

  1. Formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations.

  2. Grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships.

  3. Analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, congruence, and the Pythagorean Theorem.
