We will begin the year reviewing integers, fractions and decimals with a lot of problem solving included. We will then move on to square roots, scientific notation and similarity and rates. To wrap up the first semester, we will begin some basic geometry with problem solving and introduce the Pythagorean Theorem. We have 3 benchmarks throughout the year to prepare for the TAKS. We are working hard this year to prepare the 8th graders for Algebra I!
