numbers
Numbers are the basis of all maths - understand Grade 8 numbers in an easy and fun way
grade 8 full curriculum
Recordings of all the Grade 8 Maths topics For the Year.
2
integers
Integers consists of negative and positive numbers. We are going to add, subtract, multiply and divide with integers
BODMAS, squares & roots
Order of operations are important to understand. Also know the difference between a square and a square root.
Adding and subtracting integers from Pracmaths
Let me teach you an easy way to understand integers, working with money!!!
Integers – add and subtract like terms
Work with pictures and symbols and like terms become very easy to work with
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
3
squares & cubes
Understand the difference between a squared number and a square rooted number - also the difference between a cubed number and the cubic root of a number.
4
exponents
Exponents are based on different laws. To understand the laws, I connect each law with a "maths" story.
5
ratio & rate
Ratio is when we write the numbers next to each other and simplify them. Rate is when we divide eg. kilometer per hour or meter per second.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
6
financial maths
Financial maths is part of our daily life. We constantly have to buy or sell things. Banks ask interest when you borrow money to buy a house. So it is important to understand financial maths.
Discount, simple interest & percentage
Financial maths is part of your everyday life. Work out your test marks, by understanding percentage!!!
Percentage profit or loss & simple interest
Percentage profit or loss is a formula that you need to know until grade 12!
Questions on percentage
Revision questions based on percentage
7
number patterns
Recognise patterns in your everyday life and learn how te see mathematical patterns
8
algebraic expressions
An algebraic expression is like a word sentence, except that in maths we use variables that we call terms. These terms are separated with a plus or a negative sign.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
9
equations
An equations is where there is an equal sign and you need to solve the value of a variable.
10
fractions & decimals
Fractions are like the fractions you were taught in primary school. Now variables are being added. With decimals there are certain methods or "guidelines" to follow in order to work with them.
Adding and subtracting fractions from Mind Action
Adding and subtracting fractions is important to understand in grade 8 as it will get more and more complicated in later grades.
Adding and subtracting fractions from Spoton textbook
The order of adding and subtracting fractions is very important to understand. Lets also understand how to get the lowest common denominator
Fractions, surds and decimals from Pracmaths
Lesson on fractions, how to do square or cubic roots and decimals
11
construction of lines
In grade 8 you will be taught how to draw or construct triangles working with the length of sides and having to draw certain size angles.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
12
angles and lines
Learn the 10 different types of angles and know the three different types of angles associated with parallel lines.
13
pythagoras
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher. He developed many mathematical theorems of which the Pythagoras theorem is one of the most know ones. It states that in a right angles triangle, the squares of the two right sides adds up to the square of the third side or the hypotenuse.
14
congruency
Congruency in maths means that a triangle can fit exactly on top of another triangle if one of four sets of requirements are met, for example if 3 sides in one triangle are equal to 3 sides in another triangle, then the two triangles will fit on top of each other.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
15
similarity
Similar triangles are where the angles of one triangle is equal to the angles of another triangle. The sides of the triangles are equal in proportion.
16
quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals have four sides. Quadrilaterals differ from each other, according to their specific properties like equal sides or angles. The typical quadrilaterals are the square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium and kite
17
area & perimeter
Area is measuring the space of a two dimensional shape and perimeter is the total distance of the outside lengths of a shape.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
18
volume & surface area
Volume refers to a three dimensional object and measuring the space it takes up. Volume can be measured in cubic meters or centimeters.
19
conversion
Conversion is when we convert units from meters to millimeters or kilogram to milligram, etc.
20
graphs
A graph is a visual presentation of the relationship between two points
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus lobortis velit erat, sed dictum orci bibendum ut.
21
Transformation
Conversion is when we convert units from meters to millimeters or kilogram to milligram, etc.
22
statistics (data)
Statistics or data gives us tools to measure information like comparing results of different teachers pupils or analyzing a countries spending habits.
23
PROBABILITY
Probability is about the likelihood that an event is going to take place.
24
