Advance Placement Meeting – 8th grade students The 8th grade students will take a test that covers 8th grade math standards to enter an Algebra class. The advanced 8th grade class will learn Algebra and receive high school credit for this class. The grade also is part of their GPA for high school. Agenda I. different levels of math at WWMS a. average b. advanced c. honors II. introduction to math program III. what you need to know for your test and how to study Here is the information to access the textbook, Digits: www.mathdashboard.com/digits Login: WWMSADV Password: math1234 A few reminders: 1.) Test days for all grade levels are July 14th and July 21st at 9 AM in the WWMS Arena 2.) Students are to be completed with their tests by 11 AM (a 2 hour time limit) 3.) Students taking the 6th grade placement test will not have the use of a calculator, students taking the 7 th grade test will be able to use a calculator on a portion of the test, and students taking the 8 th grade test will have the use of a calculator for the whole test. STUDENTS MUST BRING THEIR OWN CALCULATOR ON TEST DAY Questions about the program (book) email Jelena Gober at jgober@munster.us Questions about the placement test dates or anything administrative please email Ms. Stanzione at skstanzioneemerson@munster.us Grade 8: Table of Contents (Digits – Advanced level) Unit A: The Number System Topic 1: Rational and Irrational Numbers 1-1: Expressing Rational Numbers with Decimal Expansions 1-2: Exploring Irrational Numbers 1-3: Approximating Irrational Numbers 1-4: Comparing and Ordering Rational and Irrational Numbers 1-5: Problem Solving Topic 8: Linear Functions 8-1: Defining a Linear Function Rule 8-2: Rate of Change 8-3: Initial Value 8-4: Comparing Two Linear Functions 8-5: Constructing a Function to Model a Linear Relationship 8-6: Problem Solving Unit B-Expressions and Equations, Part 1 Topic 2: Linear Equations in One Variable 2-1: Solving Two-Step Equations 2-2: Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides 2-3: Solving Equations Using the Distributive Property 2-4: Solutions-One, None, or Infinitely Many 2-5: Problem Solving Unit E: Geometry Topic 9: Congruence 9-1: Translations 9-2: Reflections 9-3: Rotations 9-4: Congruent Figures 9-5: Problem Solving Topic 3: Integer Exponents 3-1: Perfect Squares, Square Roots, and Equations in the form x2 = p 3-2: Perfect Cubes, Cube Roots, and Equations in the form x3 = p 3-3: Exponents and Multiplication 3-4: Exponents and Division 3-5: Zero and Negative Exponents 3-6: Comparing Expressions with Exponents 3-7: Problem Solving Topic 10: Similarity 10-1: Dilations 10-2: Similar Figures 10-3: Relating Similar Triangles and Slope 10-4: Problem Solving Topic 4: Scientific Notation 4-1: Exploring Scientific Notation 4-2: Using Scientific Notation to Describe Very Large Quantities 4-3: Using Scientific Notation to Describe Very Small Quantities 4-4: Operating with Numbers Expressed in Scientific Notation 4-5: Problem Solving Unit C: Expressions and Equations, Part 2 Topic 5: Proportional Relationships, Lines, and Linear Equations 5-1: Graphing Proportional Relationships 5-2: Linear Equations: y = mx 5-3: The Slope of a Line 5-4: Unit Rates and Slope 5-5: The y-intercept of a Line 5-6: Linear Equations: y = mx + b 5-7: Problem Solving Extra: point slope form Extra: graphing using a graphing calculator Topic 6: Systems of Two Linear Equations 6-1 What is a System of Linear Equations in Two Variables? 6-2 Estimating Solutions of Linear Systems by Inspection 6-3 Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Graphing 6-4 Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using Substitution 6-5 Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using Addition 6-6 Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using Subtraction 6-7 Problem Solving Unit D: Functions Topic 7: Defining and Comparing Functions 7-1: Recognizing a Function 7-2: Representing a Function 7-3: Linear Functions 7-4: Nonlinear Functions 7-5: Increasing and Decreasing Intervals 7-6: Sketching a Function Graph 7-7: Problem Solving Topic 11: Reasoning in Geometry 11-1: Angles, Lines, and Transversals 11-2: Reasoning and Parallel Lines 11-3: Interior Angles of Triangles 11-4: Exterior Angles of Triangles 11-5: Angle-Angle Triangle Similarity 11-6: Problem Solving Topic 12: Using the Pythagorean Theorem 12-1: Reasoning and Proof 12-2: The Pythagorean Theorem 12-3: Finding Unknown Leg Lengths 12-4: The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem 12-5: Distance in the Coordinate Plane 12-6: Problem Solving Topic 13: Surface Area and Volume 13-1: Surface Areas of Cylinders 13-2: Volumes of Cylinders 13-3: Surface Areas of Cones 13-4: Volumes of Cones 13-5: Surface Areas of Spheres 13-6: Volumes of Spheres 13-7: Problem Solving Unit F: Statistics Topic 14: Scatter Plots 14-1: Interpreting a Scatter Plot 14-2: Constructing a Scatter Plot 14-3: Investigating Patterns-Clustering and Outliers 14-4: Investigation Patterns-Association 14-5: Linear Models-Fitting a Straight Line 14-6: Using the Equation of a Linear Model 14-7: Problem Solving Topic 15: Analyzing Categorical Data 15-1: Bivariate Categorical Data 15-2: Constructing Two-Way Frequency Tables 15-3: Interpreting Two-Way Frequency Tables 15-4: Constructing Two-Way Relative Frequency Tables 15-5: Interpreting Two-Way Relative Frequency Tables 15-6: Choosing a Measure of Frequency 15-7: Problem Solving
