Iowa Grade 8 Math Standards

The official Iowa Grade 8 math standards, grouped by domain with the exact code and description for each expectation.

8.NS · The Number System

  • 8.NS.A.1Classify and explain numbers as rational or irrational. For rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number
  • 8.NS.A.2Use 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 expressions

8.EE · Expressions & Equations

  • 8.EE.A.1Apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions
  • 8.EE.A.2Use 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. Students evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Use bases 1 through 5 and 10 for cubes
  • 8.EE.A.3Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate exceptionally large or small quantities and to express how many times as much one is than another
  • 8.EE.A.4Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of convenient size for quantities
  • 8.EE.B.5Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways
  • 8.EE.B.6Use 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
  • 8.EE.C.7Solve linear equations in one variable
  • 8.EE.C.8Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations

8.F · Functions

  • 8.F.A.1Describe a function as a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output and the graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. Function notation is not required in grade 8
  • 8.F.A.2Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions)
  • 8.F.A.3Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a function that assigns to each input valuexthe output valuem+b; this is a linear function whose graph is a straight line. Give examples of functions that are not linear
  • 8.F.B.4Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x,y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models and in terms of its graph or a table of values
  • 8.F.B.5Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph

8.G · Geometry

  • 8.G.A.1Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations
  • 8.G.A.2Explain that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations. Given two congruent figures, describe a sequence of rigid transformations that proves the congruence between them
  • 8.G.A.3Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates
  • 8.G.A.4Explain that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that demonstrates the similarity between them
  • 8.G.A.5Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles
  • 8.G.B.6Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and a proof of its converse
  • 8.G.B.7Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two- and three-dimensions
  • 8.G.B.8Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system
  • 8.G.C.9Apply the formulas for the volume of cones, cylinders, and spheres to solve real-world and mathematical problems

8.SP · Statistics & Probability

  • 8.SP.A.1Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association
  • 8.SP.A.2For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line
  • 8.SP.A.3Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept
  • 8.SP.A.4Construct 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
