The 8th grade math  textbooks continue the march to higher level mathematics. In algebra, students encounter the basics of algebraic functions and their graphs, learn to solve systems of linear equations and inequalities, solidify their understanding of polynomial equations, and begin working with rational expressions. 

Overview

Their study of advanced geometry continues with a rigorous development of classic theorems on circles and their inscribed angles and polygons. In the final chapter, students get an introduction to combinatorics, a field often used to provide bridges between other branches of mathematics. Once again, the year’s curriculum ends with a summary of the ideas and techniques students have added to their personal mathematica toolboxes.

What is the added value in our 8 grade textbooks❓
Our math book series promotes at all times:
☑ Simplicity and Elegance: In anything we do, especially in mathematics.
☑ Courage: Not being afraid to make mistakes and to learn from them.
☑ Diversity of Ideas: Via multiple solutions to the same problem.
☑ Learning to Think Deeply: Make connections with previously learned material.
