WELCOME TO MATH 8 HONORS
This course is designed as a first-year high school algebra course. The topics include the real number system, algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities, linear functions, quadratic functions, polynomial functions, exponential functions, square-root functions, systems of equations and inequalities, and probability and statistics. Students will represent quantitative relationships in various ways, distinguish linear, quadratic, and exponential relations, and choose a model to best fit any given data among those relations. The approach to algebra in this course is characterized by utilizing the textbook, extending the lesson, applying the principles taught in class, employing technology such as graphing calculators and online resources, and drawing conclusions based on logical and mathematical reasoning.
