Math 8 Course Information

In this course, you will learn to use new models and methods to think about and solve problems. You will be developing powerful mathematical tools and learning new ways of thinking about and investigating situations. You will be making connections, discovering relationships, figuring out what strategies can be used to solve problems, and explaining your thinking.
