Making Math Meaningful: An 8th Grade Workbook, Teacher’s Edition

Description Eighth grade – the last year before high school.  Developmentally, the students are on an emotional rollercoaster, but their natural interest in mathematics is beginning to peak.  The eighth grader can easily get frustrated, yet working through frustration teaches determination and builds confidence.  They need to be challenged, and the topics in this workbook do exactly that!  Instead of the teacher giving all of the rules and laws to the students, the Group Sheets lead them to discover much of this for themselves.  Although this workbook will help to strengthen math skills, the real focus is on developing higher-level mathematical thinking.  And remember, enthusiasm for learning is one of the greatest gifts that a teacher can give to students. The seven units in this eighth grade workbook are: Number Bases Pythagorean Theorem Mensuration Percents & Growth Proportions and Dimensional Analysis Algebra End-of-Year Review This Teacher’s Edition contains answer keys!
