Math 8 Skills Recovery

8th Grade Math - Skills Recovery is designed to provide appropriate remediation to students before engaging in regular lesson content. Students take short diagnostic assessments before blocks of related content within each unit.

Student performance on these assessments determines the level of remediation offered. Each lesson offers two levels of remediation, the pre-requisite of the lesson content and the pre-pre-requisite of the lesson content.

The 8th Grade - Skills Recovery Math course regular content prepares students for more advanced study in algebra.

Students learn to solve linear equations, work with integer exponents, square roots and cube roots, graph and write linear equations in different forms and from multiple representations, gain conceptual understanding of functions, and learn to analyze key features of functions from multiple representations.

Students are prepared for more advanced study of geometry through lesson emphasis on angle pairs, triangles, the Pythagorean theorem, volume, transformations, similarity and congruence."
