From the prescribed learning outcomes of the curriculum guide, we found that some Math 8 learning outcomes are implemented as a transition and preparation for Math 9. For instance, Math 8 explores perfect squares, square roots and approximating square root of numbers that are not perfect squares which facilitates as a foundation for extending the concepts of imperfect squares roots into irrational numbers.
Math 8 topics include:
- Perfect squares and square roots
- percentage, rates, ratio
- multiplication and division of fractions, mixed numbers, and integers
- linear equations
- Pythagorean theorem
- Surface area and formulas of right prisms and cylinders
- top, front, and side view of 3-D object
- tessellations
- presentation of data
- Independent events
Math 9 topics include:
- Power
- rational numbers
- square root of positive rational numbers
- graph of linear relations
- interpolation and extrapolation
- single variable linear inequalities
- operations on polynomials
- circle properties
- surface area of composite 3-D objects
- similarity of polygons
- Scale diagrams of 2-D shapes
- line and rotational symmetry
- Data collection
- population and sample data
- project plan for collection, display, and analysis of data
- probability in society
