8th Grade Math
The main focus of 8th grade math is algebra. The 8-1 group is learning how to solve systems of 2 equations or inequalities by graphing, by using substitution, or by eliminating ine of the variables. They are also learning how they are applied in the real world. The 8-2 group is working on solving multi-step equations. They are almost ready to take the chapter 4 test. The 8-3 group is also working on solving multi-step equations. During the second trimester, the 8-2 and 8-3 groups will continue to work with the Understanding Math software once every other week in the computer lab.
Your child should have either written or study home work each night. A good study habit is to review the notes and examples from class or from the book before beginning each assignment. I require that all chapter tests be corrected and then signed by the parents.
I am available for extra help before school from 7:15 until 8:00 . We also have the flex period on Wednesdays when students may see any teacher for extra help.
