8.NS.1
Know that numbers that are not
rational are called irrational.
Understand informally that every
number has a decimal expansion;
for rational numbers show that the
decimal expansion repeats
eventually, and convert a decimal
expansion which repeats
eventually into a rational
number.
8.NS.2
Use rational approximations of
irrational numbers to compare the
size of irrational numbers, locate
them approximately on a number
line diagram, and estimate the
value of expression.
8.EE.2
Use square root and cube root
symbols to represent solutions to
equations of the form x2 = p and
x3=p, where p is a positive rational
number. Evaluate square roots of
small perfect squares and cube
roots of small perfect cubes.
Know 2 is irrational.
5 Conversions
Vocabulary metric system, customary system, inches, feet, etc.
Given a relationship between two units, convert within the measurement system
Calculate rates
Solve verbal problems involving conversions within measurement systems given the relationship
between the units (i.e. Ellen traveled six times as far as Beth. If Ellen traveled 150 km, how many
meters did Beth travel? 1 km = 1,000 m or A dress on sale was reduced to $25. If that was 1/6 of
the original price, find the original price in Euros. The current conversion is 1 Euro = $1.50)
Include examples where students need to do multiple conversions to arrive at an answer.
A.A.5 Write algebraic equations or inequalities that represent a situation
A.A.6 Analyze and solve verbal problems whose solution requires solving a linear equation in one
variable or linear inequality in one variable

A.M.2 Solve problems involving conversions within measurement systems, given the relationship
between the units
A.PS.5 Choose an effective approach to solve a problem from a variety of strategies (numeric,
graphic, algebraic)

8.F.5
Describe qualitatively the
functional relationship between
two quantities by analyzing a
graph. Sketch a graph that
exhibits the qualitative features of
a function that has been described
verbally.
11
8.EE.5
Graph proportional relationships,
interpreting the unit rate as the slope
of the graph. Compare two
different proportional
relationships in different ways. For
example, compare a distance-time
graph to a distance-tme equation to
determine which of two moving
objects has greater speed.
8.EE.6
Use similar triangles to explain
why the slope m is the same
between any two distinct points on
a non-vertical line in the
coordinate plane; derive the
equation y=mx for a line through the
origin and the equation y=mx+b for
a line intercepting the vertical axis at
b.
13
8.SP.4
Understand that patterns of
association can also be seen in
bivariate categorical data by
displaying frequencies and
relative frequencies in a two-way
table. Construct and interpret a
two-way table summarizing data
on two categorical variables
collected from the same subjects.
Use relative frequencies calculated
for rows or columns to describe
possible association between the
two variables.
19
8.EE4
Perform operations with numbers
expressed in scientific notation,
including problems where both
decimal and scientific notation are
used. Use scientific notation and
choose units of appropriate size
for measurements of very large or
very small quantities. Interpret
scientific notation that has been
generated by technology.
