8TH GRADE PACING GUIDE
MATH INNOVATIONS UNIT 1: SOLVE IT
August-September
Standards:
8.EE.1: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3 2 x 3-5 = 3-3 = 1/33 = 1/27.
8.EE.3: Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as
much one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 x 108 and the population of the world as 7 x 109, and determine that the world
population is more than 20 times larger.
8.EE.4: Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use 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.
8.EE.7a: Solve linear equations in one variable: a) 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.
8.EE.7b: Solve linear equations in one variable: b) Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding
expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
Standard/Target
8.EE.7b Knowledge Target: Solve equations whose solutions
require expanding expressions using the distributive property
and/or collecting like terms.
8.EE.7a Knowledge Target: Give examples of linear equations in
one variable with one solution and show that the given example
equation has one solution by successively transforming the
equation into an equivalent equation of the form x = a.
Knowledge Target: Give examples of linear equations in one
variable with infinitely many solutions and show that the given
example has infinitely many solutions by successively
transforming the equation into an equivalent equation of the
form a = a. Knowledge Target: Give examples of linear equations
in one variable with no solution and show that the given example
has no solution by successively transforming the equation into an
equivalent equation of the form a = b, where a and b are different
numbers.
