8th Grade Mathematics Curriculum New Jersey Students Learning Standards

Introduction

In Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three critical areas: 1) Formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an

association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations.

a. Students use linear equations and systems of linear equations to represent, analyze, and solve a variety of problems. Students recognize equations for proportions (y/x = m or y = mx) as special linear equations (y = mx + b), understanding that the constant of proportionality (m) is the slope, and the graphs are lines through the origin. They understand that the slope (m) of a line is a constant rate of change, so that if the input or x-coordinate changes by an amount A, the output or y-coordinate changes by the amount m·A. Students also use a linear equation to describe the association between two quantities in bivariate data (such as arm span vs. height for students in a classroom). At this grade, fitting the model, and assessing its fit to the data are done informally. Interpreting the model in the context of the data requires students to express a relationship between the two quantities in question and to interpret components of the relationship (such as slope and y-intercept) in terms of the situation.

b. Students strategically choose and efficiently implement procedures to solve linear equations in one variable, understanding that when they use the properties of equality and the concept of logical equivalence, they maintain the solutions of the original equation. Students solve systems of two linear equations in two variables and relate the systems to pairs of lines in the plane; these intersect, are parallel, or are the same line. Students use linear equations, systems of linear equations, linear functions, and their understanding of slope of a line to analyze situations and solve problems.

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

a. Students grasp the concept of a function as a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. They understand that functions describe situations where one quantity determines another. They can translate among representations and partial representations of functions (noting that tabular and graphical representations may be partial representations), and they describe how aspects of the function are reflected in the different representations.

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

a. Students use ideas about distance and angles, how they behave under translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations, and ideas about congruence and similarity to describe and analyze two-dimensional figures and to solve problems. Students show that the sum of the angles in a triangle is the angle formed by a straight line, and that various configurations of lines give rise to similar triangles because of the angles created when a transversal cuts parallel lines. Students understand the statement of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, and can explain why the Pythagorean Theorem holds, for example, by decomposing a square in two different ways. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances between points on the coordinate plane, to find lengths, and to analyze polygons. Students complete their work on volume by solving problems involving cones, cylinders, and spheres.

Page 3: Egg Harbor  · PDF fileEgg Harbor Township ... 8.EE.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent ... EHT

Mathematical Practice Standards (MP)

1) Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. - In grade 8, students solve real world problems through the application of algebraic and

geometric concepts. Students seek the meaning of a problem and look for efficient ways to represent and solve it. They may check their thinking by asking themselves, “What is the most efficient way to solve the problem?”, “Does this make sense?”, and “Can I solve the problem in a different way?”

2) Reason abstractly and quantitatively. - In grade 8, students represent a wide variety of real world contexts through the use of real

numbers and variables in mathematical expressions, equations, and inequalities. They examine patterns in data and assess the degree of linearity of functions. Students contextualize to understand the meaning of the number or variable as related to the problem and decontextualize to manipulate symbolic representations by applying properties of operations.

3) Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. - In grade 8, students construct arguments using verbal or written explanations accompanied by

expressions, equations, inequalities, models, and graphs, tables, and other data displays (i.e. box plots, dot plots, histograms, etc.). They further refine their mathematical communication skills through mathematical discussions in which they critically evaluate their own thinking and the thinking of other students. They pose questions like “How did you get that?”, “Why is that true?”, “Does that always work?” They explain their thinking to others and respond to others‘ thinking.

4) Model with mathematics. - In grade 8, students model problem situations symbolically, graphically, tabularly, and

contextually. Students form expressions, equations, or inequalities from real world contexts and connect symbolic and graphical representations. Students solve systems of linear equations and compare properties of functions provided in different forms. Students use scatterplots to represent data and describe associations between variables. Students need many opportunities to connect and explain the connections between the different representations. They should be able to use all of these representations as appropriate to a problem context.

5) Use appropriate tools strategically. - Students consider available tools (including estimation and technology) when solving a

mathematical problem and decide when certain tools might be helpful. For instance, students in grade 8 may translate a set of data given in tabular form to a graphical representation to compare it to another data set. Students might draw pictures, use applets, or write equations to show the relationships between the angles created by a transversal.

6) Attend to precision. - In grade 8, students continue to refine their mathematical communication skills by using clear

and precise language in their discussions with others and in their own reasoning. Students use appropriate terminology when referring to the number system, functions, geometric figures, and data displays.

7) Look for and make use of structure. (Deductive Reasoning) - Students routinely seek patterns or structures to model and solve problems. In grade 8, students

apply properties to generate equivalent expressions and solve equations. Students examine patterns in tables and graphs to generate equations and describe relationships. Additionally, students experimentally verify the effects of transformations and describe them in terms of congruence and similarity.

8) Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (Inductive Reasoning) - In grade 8, students use repeated reasoning to understand algorithms and make generalizations

about patterns. Students use iterative processes to determine more precise rational approximations for irrational numbers. During multiple opportunities to solve and model problems, they notice that the slope of a line and rate of change are the same value. Students flexibly make connections between covariance, rates, and representations showing the relationships between quantities.

Common Misconceptions: (8.E.E.1 – 4)

Students may make the relationship that in scientific notation, when a number contains one nonzero digit and a positive exponent, that the number of zeros equals the exponent.

GOALS AND STANDARDS

Student should gain knowledge of tables, graphs, and equations in order to represent verbal descriptions of quantitative relationships and vice-versa. Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

8.F.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

8.F.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal

descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

8.F.3 Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear.

Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

8.F.4 Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

8.F.5 Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.

Common Misconceptions (8.F.1 – 3) Some students will mistakenly think of a straight line as horizontal or vertical only. Some students will mix up x- and y-axes on the coordinate plane, or mix up the ordered pairs. When emphasizing that the first value is plotted on the horizontal axes (usually x, with positive to the right) and the second is the vertical axis (usually called y, with positive up), point out that this is merely a convention: It could have been otherwise, but it is very useful for people to agree on a standard customary practice. Common Misconceptions (8.F.4 – 5)

- Students often confuse a recursive rule with an explicit formula for a function. For example, after identifying that a linear function shows an increase of 2 in the values of the output for every change of 1 in the input, some students will represent the equation as y = x + 2 instead of realizing that this means y = 2x + b. When tables are constructed with increasing consecutive integers for input values, then the distinction between the recursive and explicit formulas is about whether you are reasoning vertically or horizontally in the table. Both types of reasoning—and both types of formulas—are important for developing proficiency with functions.

- When input values are not increasing consecutive integers (e.g., when the input values are decreasing, when some integers are skipped, or when some input values are not integers), some students have more difficulty identifying the pattern and calculating the slope. It is important that all students have experience with such tables, so as to be sure that they do not overgeneralize from the easier examples.

- Some students may not pay attention to the scale on a graph, assuming that the scale units are always “one”. When making axes for a graph, some students may not using equal intervals to create the scale.

- Some students may infer a cause and effect between independent and dependent variables, but this is often not the case.

- Some students graph incorrectly because they don‘t understand that x usually represents the independent variable and y represents the dependent variable. Emphasize that this is a convention that makes it easier to communicate.

Common Misconceptions: Students often confuse situations that require adding with multiplicative situations in regard to scale factor. Providing experiences with geometric figures and coordinate grids may help students visualize the difference. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

- How can you use models of one and two-dimensional figures to show congruent and similar figures?

- Where in the real world can I find shapes and symmetry? - How can length of sides and measure of angles be used to classify triangles and

quadrilaterals? - How do you identify and classify transformations?

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

Students will know how to…

- Identify similar polygons and find missing measurements. - Generate similar geometric figures by applying all transformations. - Identify special pairs of angles and relationships of angles. - Use parallel lines to investigate the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle and

similar triangles. - Find the volumes of cylinders, cones, and spheres. - Find the relationship among the sides of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean

Theorem.

STAGE TWO

PERFORMANCE TASKS

- GeoSolids (Use rice/sand and GeoSolids to analyze the difference in volume formulas) - Use K’Nex to create angles

STAGE ONE

GOALS AND STANDARDS

Students will learn several tools to display and analysis statistical data and learn to choose an appropriate display. They will also learn fundamental concepts of probability.

Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

8.SP.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

8.SP.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.

8.SP.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept.

8.SP.4 Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS

Students will understand that… - They can interpret data and select appropriate displays. - The way that data is collected, organized and displayed influences interpretation.

Standards for Mathematical Practice (MP):

8.SP.1 – 3 MP.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. MP.4. Model with mathematics. MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically. MP.6. Attend to precision. MP.7. Look for and make use of structure.

8.SP.4 MP.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. MP.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. MP.4. Model with mathematics. MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically. MP.6. Attend to precision. MP.7. Look for and make use of structure.

Common Misconceptions: Students may believe: Bivariate data is only displayed in scatter plots. 8.SP.4 in this cluster provides the opportunity to display bivariate, categorical data in a table. In general, students think there is only one correct answer in mathematics. Students may mistakenly think their lines of best fit for the same set of data will be exactly the same. Because students are informally drawing lines of best fit, the lines will vary slightly. To obtain the exact line of best fit, students would use technology to find the line of regression. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

- How is thinking algebraically different from thinking arithmetically? - Why is data collected and analyzed?
