Tennessee Grade 8 Math Standards
The official Tennessee Grade 8 math standards, grouped by domain with the exact code and description for each expectation.
8.NS · The Number System
- 8.NS.A.1Know that real numbers that are not rational are called irrational (e.g., π, √2, etc.). Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually or terminates, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually or terminates into a rational number
- 8.NS.A.2Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers by locating them approximately on a number line diagram. Estimate the value of irrational expressions (such as π2)
8.EE · Expressions & Equations
- 8.EE.A.1Know and apply 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. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes
- 8.EE.A.3Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities and to express how many times as much one is than the other
- 8.EE.A.4Using technology, solve real-world problems with numbers expressed in decimal and scientific notation. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading)
- 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; know and apply 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
- 8.EE.C.7Solve linear equations in one variable
- 8.EE.C.8Analyze and solve systems of two linear equations graphically
- 8.EE.C.9By graphing on the coordinate plane or by analyzing a given graph, determine the solution set of a linear inequality in one or two variables
8.F · Functions
- 8.F.A.1Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. 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 8th grade.)
- 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.3Know and interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining 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 (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally
8.G · Geometry
- 8.G.A.1Describe the effect of translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations on two-dimensional figures using coordinates
- 8.G.A.2Use 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.3Explain a model of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse
- 8.G.B.4Know and apply 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.5Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system
- 8.G.C.6Apply the formulas for the volumes 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.2Know that straight lines are widely used to model linear relationships between two quantitative variables. For 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 intercepts
- 8.SP.B.4Find probabilities of and represent sample spaces for compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation
