MGSE8.NS: : The Number System

MGSE8.NS.2: : Use rational approximation of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., estimate π² to the nearest tenth)

MGSE8.EE: : Expressions and Equations

MGSE8.EE.1: : Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.

MGSE8.EE.2: : Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations. Recognize that x² = p (where p is a positive rational number and lxl ≤ 25) has 2 solutions and x³ = p (where p is a negative or positive rational number and lxl ≤ 10) has one solution. Evaluate square roots of perfect squares ≤ 625 and cube roots of perfect cubes ≥ -1000 and ≤ 1000.

MGSE8.EE.3: : Use numbers expressed in scientific notation to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other.

MGSE8.EE.4: : Add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Understand scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g. use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology (e.g. calculators).

MGSE8.EE.5: : Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.

MGSE8.EE.6: : Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.

MGSE8.EE.7a: : Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).

MGSE8.EE.7b: : Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

MGSE8.EE.8a: : Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.

MGSE8.EE.8b: : Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection.

MGSE8.EE.8c: : Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables

MGSE8.F: : Functions

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.G: : Geometry

MGSE8.G.1: : Verify experimentally the congruence properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: lines are taken to lines and line segments to line segments of the same length; angles are taken to angles of the same measure; parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.

MGSE8.G.3: : Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

MGSE8.G.5: : Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.

MGSE8.G.6: : Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.

MGSE8.G.7: : Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.

MGSE8.G.8: : Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system.

MGSE8.G.9: : Apply the formulas for the volume of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

MGSE8.SP: : Statistics and Probability

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.SP.3: : Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept.

MGSE8.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.

MGSE8.SP.4.a: : Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects.

MGSE8.SP.4.b: : Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables.
