Math 8 Curriculum Map Stephanie Schott Month Unit 0 January 2-17 (8 days instructional time, 2 days for review

w and test) + short day at end Content Find slope from a table Graphing from slopeintercept form Slope formula Writing equations from a table, graph, and 2 points Story problems
8.EE.5 - Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.

Skills & Concepts -Graph proportional relationships with unit rate as slope -Compare different proportional relationships represented different ways ---distance time graph to distance time equation -determine whether or not a relationship is proportional -plot real-life proportional examples & interpret slope in context -Slope intercept form Literacy: Verbal discussion skills, summary sheet introduction

Systems of Equations Graphing and number of solutions

8.EE.8 - Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. a. 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. b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.

-Understand why solutions to systems are points of intersection on a graph -estimate solutions by graphing equations -three solution cases -Solve real-world problems graphically Literacy: Writing mathematical writing

Systems of equations (substitution and elimination) and word problems

8.EE.8 - Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.

Relations and functions, input/output, domain& range

-Relations are rules assigning inputs and outputs -Functions are specific types of relations 8.F.1 - Understand that a function (each input has exactly one output) is a rule that assigns to each input -graph of a function is the set of exactly one output. The graph of a input/output pairs, called ordered pairs function is the set of ordered pairs -linear vs. nonlinear functions consisting of an input and the -qualitative descriptions corresponding output. 8.F.3 - Interpret the equation y = (increasing/decreasing, linear/nonlinear) mx + b as defining a linear Literacy: graphic organizers contd., function, whose graph is a reading from short paragraph texts for straight line; give examples of comprehension/ mathematical analysis functions that are not linear.

linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line. 8.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.

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.
