Instructional Guidance from the DOE

This is a very important document from the DOE. It takes each current Indiana College and Career Readiness Standard and lets you know how important that standard is for the coming ISTEP test.

NCTM Problem

Here is a link to a PDF copy of that NCTM problem I send out earlier this week in e-mail.

8th Grade Math - 1A

Here are the standards for 8th Grade - 1A

8.NS.1 Give examples of rational and irrational numbers and explain the difference between them. Understand that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers, show that the decimal expansion terminates or repeats, and convert a decimal expansion that repeats into a rational number.

8.NS.2 Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, plot them approximately on a number line, and estimate the value of expressions involving irrational numbers. (e.g., π2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.)

8.NS.3 Given a numeric expression with common rational number bases and integer exponents, apply the properties of exponents to generate equivalent expressions.

8.NS.4: Use square root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^2 = p, where p is a positive rational number.
