Part of: [Washington: Mathematics](https://ai.page/roadmap/wa.md)

Goal: Washington academic standards: Mathematics, Grade 8

## 1. Data Science

- [Comparing measurements](https://ai.page/c/comparing-measurements/index.md): Describe, interpret, and compare distributions of a single variable using appropriate measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and spread (range), including the effect of outliers
- [Scatter Graphs](https://ai.page/c/scatter-graphs/index.md): Plot bivariate data on a scatter graph with correctly labelled axes and appropriate scales; describe the correlation (positive, negative, none) and draw an estimated line of best fit where appropriate

## 2. Statistics and Probability

- [Scatter Graphs & Correlation](https://ai.page/c/scatter-graphs-and-correlation/index.md): Describe simple mathematical relationships between two variables using scatter graphs, identify positive, negative, or no correlation, and use a line of best fit to make predictions
- [Simultaneous Equations](https://ai.page/c/simultaneous-equations/index.md): Understand that two linear equations can be solved simultaneously by finding the point where their graphs intersect, and interpret this graphically and algebraically as the pair of values satisfying both equations

## 3. Geometry

- [Circles: Circumference & Area](https://ai.page/c/circles-circumference-and-area/index.md): Calculate the circumference and area of circles using the formulae C = πd (or 2πr) and A = πr², and solve problems involving perimeters and areas of composite shapes that include circular parts
- [Types of angles (age 13+)](https://ai.page/c/types-of-angles-age-13/index.md): Apply Pythagoras’ Theorem (a² + b² = c²) to calculate unknown side lengths in right-angled triangles, including in real-world and coordinate-geometry contexts
- [Angles with parallel lines](https://ai.page/c/angles-with-parallel-lines/index.md): Understand and use the relationship between parallel lines cut by a transversal: corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and co-interior (same-side interior) angles; use these to find unknown angles
- [Coordinate Transformations](https://ai.page/c/coordinate-transformations/index.md): Identify properties of translations, rotations, and reflections; describe and perform these transformations on given figures, and understand that the image is congruent to the original

## 4. Functions

- [Algebraic Transformations](https://ai.page/c/algebraic-transformations/index.md): Model situations or procedures by translating them into algebraic expressions or formulae and by using graphs; move between word problems, algebraic representations, tables, and graphical representations
- [Linear Function Graphs](https://ai.page/c/linear-function-graphs/index.md): Recognise that a linear function produces a straight-line graph, understand the relationship between an equation of the form y = mx + c and its graphical representation, and interpret gradient and y-intercept in context

## 5. Expressions and Equations

- [Solving Linear Equations](https://ai.page/c/solving-linear-equations/index.md): Use algebraic methods to solve linear equations in one variable, including equations that require rearrangement, expanding brackets, and collecting terms on both sides; solve equations with rational number coefficients
- [Plotting Linear Graphs](https://ai.page/c/plotting-linear-graphs/index.md): Plot linear graphs by generating a table of values, reduce a two-variable linear equation to the form y = mx + c, and calculate gradients from two points on a line
- [Proportion Graphs](https://ai.page/c/proportion-graphs/index.md): Represent proportional relationships using double number lines (two parallel number lines aligned at 0) and ratio tables; recognise that equivalent ratios generate straight lines through the origin when graphed
- [Percentages as Fractions](https://ai.page/c/percentages-as-fractions/index.md): Define percentage as 'number of parts per hundred'; interpret percentages and percentage changes as a fraction or a decimal; express one quantity as a percentage of another; compare quantities using percentages; work with percentages greater than 100%
- [Square and cube numbers](https://ai.page/c/square-and-cube-numbers-maths/index.md): Use integer powers and associated real roots (square, cube, and higher); recognise powers of 2, 3, 4, and 5; distinguish between exact representations of roots and their decimal approximations
- [Powers of Ten Notation](https://ai.page/c/powers-of-ten-notation/index.md): Interpret and compare numbers in standard form A × 10ⁿ where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer; convert between ordinary numbers and standard form
- [Expressions & Equations Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/expressions-and-equations-vocabulary/index.md): Understand and use the concepts and vocabulary of expressions, equations, inequalities, terms, and factors; distinguish between an expression (no equals sign), an equation (equals sign), and an inequality (inequality sign)

## 6. The Number System

- [Estimating by rounding](https://ai.page/c/estimating-by-rounding-maths/index.md): Use approximation through rounding to estimate answers and calculate possible resulting errors expressed using inequality notation a < x ≤ b; understand upper and lower bounds of rounded values
- [Number Sets & Infinity](https://ai.page/c/number-sets-and-infinity/index.md): Appreciate the infinite nature of the sets of integers, real numbers, and rational numbers; position integers on a number line and distinguish between rational and irrational numbers
