By the end of grade eight, students will:
F.8.1 Work with algebraic expressions in a variety of ways, including
- using appropriate symbolism, including exponents* and variables*
- evaluating expressions through numerical substitution
- generating equivalent expressions
- adding and subtracting expressions
F.8.2 Work with linear and nonlinear patterns* and relationships
in a variety of ways, including
- representing them with tables, with graphs, and with algebraic
expressions, equations, and inequalities
- describing and interpreting their graphical representations
(e.g., slope*, rate of change, intercepts*)
- using them as models of real-world phenomena
- describing a real-world phenomenon that a given graph might
represent
F.8.3 Recognize, describe, and analyze functional relationships*
by generalizing a rule that characterizes the pattern of change
among variables. These functional relationships include exponential
growth and decay (e.g., cell division, depreciation)
F.8.4 Use linear equations and inequalities in a variety of ways,
including
- writing them to represent problem situations and to express
generalizations
- solving them by different methods (e.g., informally, graphically,
with formal properties, with technology)
- writing and evaluating formulas (including solving for a specified
variable)
- using them to record and describe solution strategies
F.8.5 Recognize and use generalized properties and relations,
including
- additive and multiplicative property of equations and inequalities
- commutativity* and associativity* of addition and multiplication
- distributive* property
- inverses* and identities* for addition and multiplication
- transitive* property
