Fall Semester Math 8 Old HW (from year 3 when we did it with Algebra)
this semester is listed with September at top and December at bottom
Chapter 2: Functions 2.1-2.5
We introduced most of this in class during weeks 11 & 12
Read each section intro and examples. Then try 3-5 problems from the section, usually from the Practice and Problem solving section (see which ones have answers in the back of the book). Then take the quizzes— called Ready to Go On— at the end of every two or three sections (I’ve posted photos of quiz answers . Then do some of the review problems from the Study Guide and Review at the end of the chapter.
If you need more practice here are some suggestions.
Chp 2.1 Ordered Pairs Read intro & examples. Recommended problems: p. 52-53: 17, 19, 21, 25, 27,33
Chp 2.2 Graphing on a Coordinate Plane and horizontal and vertical distance between two points. Read intro & examples. Recommended problems: pg 57: #33, 35, 37, 41 & test prep

Ratios, Proportions and Similarity 4.1-4.4 - we had lessons on this in class too during week 12.
Read each section intro and examples. Then try 3-5 problems from the section, usually from the practice and problem solving section (see which ones have answers in the back of the book and use the photos I’ve posted with answers). Then take the quizzes at the end of every two or three sections. Then do some of the review problems from the Study Guide and Review at the end of the chapter.

Watch Richard from AoPs set up proportion (equal ratios are called proportions) (Note at minute 6 he “clears” the fraction by multiplying by 2 so he doesn’t have to have a fraction in the numerator.) He calls method 1 finding an equivalent ratio “scaling it up by a factor of _____”
Chapter 6
Measurement and Geometry A) Circles, Prisms, and Cylinders
Measurement and Geometry 6.1 - 6.4 -all review
A) Circles, Prisms, and Cylinders
B) Pyramids, Cones and Spheres
Read each section intro and examples. Then try 3-5 problems from the section, usually from the practice and problem solving section (see which ones have answers in the back of the book and use the photos I’ve posted with answers). Then take the quizzes at the end of every two or three sections. Then do some of the review problems from the Study Guide and Review at the end of the chapter.
All of this is review from last year— but easier than what we did in McD!
6.1 Circles Circumference = (diameter) (Pi) Area = (Pi)(radius^2). Memorize these formulas
6.2 Volume of Prisms and Cylinders =(Bh)
6.3 Volume of Pyramids & Cones = 1/3Bh
6.4 Volume of Spheres = 4/3(Pi)(r^3) Surface Area of Spheres = 4(Pi)(r^2)
I’m not posting videos on this as it is pretty straight forward. You can easily find videos on these topics if you need them.

Whole numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3, …. (includes zero and positive numbers)
Integers = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3…. positive AND negative numbers
Rational numbers = numbers which can be written as fractions and as decimals which either terminate or repeat 25/4 or 1.3333…
Irrational numbers = numbers which can NOT be written as a fraction or repeating or terminating decimal. In other words numbers with decimal places which never end (my memory trick for this is “crazy-long decimals” crazy is irrational
Real numbers is all rational and irrational numbers

Homework all from Math 8 textbook
Building pyramids and rectangular prism to derive volume formula of a pyramid (1/3)Base Area)(h) compared to rectangular prism with a congruent base and heights. (It took three pyramids to fill up the prism, thus the prism is 3 times the volume, making the pyramid 1/3 the volume of the prism.) Building triangles to review the Triangle Sum Theorem (The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180). And to see visually why a straight angle is 180 degrees. Interior Angles Chutes and Ladders review game for Math 8 chapter 5 lessons 5.1-5.3 including angle relationships and angle chasing practice (acture, right, obtuse, straight, complementary, and supplementary angles, vertical angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, corresponding angles, transversal). New info: Triangle Inequality Theorem (sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.)
REMEMBER TO SHOW YOUR WORK. Beginning with this assignment, if you don’t show your work the highest grade you can get on the homework is 7/10 (a C-)

Graphing Linear Equations Chp 8.1 (Is the rate of change constant? How does one graph a line? One way to graph a line is by making a table of ordered pairs. One makes a table of ordered pairs by plugging in a value for x and finding out what y is then. This makes y dependent upon what value one plugs in for x. I’ll teach you another way to graph a line in section 8.3.)
Review this Math Antic Videos about linear functions & slope. (13 minutes) Note: linear means in a straight line, no curves! So if the graph of an equation is a straight line, it is linear. If it is linear, then it has a constant rate of change (meaning its slope DOES NOT CHANGE. It is CONSTANT.)
How to figure out what the rate of change is from a table of x’s and y’s. Rate of change video from Brian: 2 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFXXStHpfaQ & optional 4 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cqQzI3RrqQ&list=PL0G-Nd0V5ZMrdoj-MFw0FR7CSAAON0gU0&index=3

BEGIN SPRING SEMESTER HW
OLDEST HW LISTED FIRST (IN OTHER WORDS, BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER IS AT THE TOP, END IS AT THE BOTTOM)
There are about 40 problems in this homework set which finishes up chapter 5 on plane geometry and rigid transformations, as well as solving systems of equations using the substitution method (7.4). We work more on linear equations concepts from chp 8 including point-slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) and look at direct variation, and graphing systems of equations.
For extra credit points, take notes on at least half of the videos and show them to me with your homework.
If you aren’t happy with your chp 3 quiz score, you may retake it by doing the odd problems. Due Monday. Remember to take thorough notes on the example problems and formulas in each section of the textbook. Label your notes clearly. (If you struggled with performing operations in scientific notation, I recommend this video by Math Magic “How to Perform Operations in Scientific Notation . . . How to Add, Subtract, Multpliy & Divide”. And if you struggled with estimating non-perfect squares, watch How to Approximate Square Roots WITHOUT a Calculator -Grade 8 Math from The Magic of Math)

7. 2 Solving equations containing fractions (clearing fractions by multiplying both sides by a LCD lowest common denominator. You have work in Greenie about this too.) 7.2 page 305
7.3 Systems of Equations examples on page 318-319, word problem example on page 320 #25 and page 321 #26
MATH 8 TEXTBOOK
Chp 8 Study Guide Review: page 376-378.
Define all the vocabulary words (on your paper or flash cards).
Do problems 4, 8, 10, 18, 19, 22, 26, 28, 32, 34, 35 (11 problems) For kicks, look at 38 and use what you know about opposites to figure out something special/unusual about how those two lines intersect without lifting a pencil.
Take A FEW notes on the following topics to prepare for your chp 8 test in a week and a half on March 24th:
8.1 What does linear mean? How do you identify a constant rate of change? pg 8.1-8.2
8.2 find the slope of a line given two points. What does positive slope look like (see page 347), negative slope, zero slope, undefined slope?
8.3 Use slope-intercept form to find the slope and y -intercept, write an equation for a line in slope intercept form which passes through two given points
8.4 Point-slope form— write an equation given a slope and a point, use point slope form to solve a word problem like problem 18 on page 358 (Answer: y-2344 = 0.05x. 2719 ft above sea level)
8.5 Direct Variation y=kz or y=mx +0 — it always passes through the origin review example 1, 2, 3
8.6 Solving Systems of equations by graphing— when might there be no solution to a system? (they never intersect), when might their be infinite solutions (they are the same line!) Remember, an answer to a systems of equations when graphing is a point
