Grade 8 Mathematics

The Ontario Grade 8 Mathematics course has six strands: Social-Emotional Learning Skills, Number, Algebra, Data, Spatial Sense and Financial Literacy. The museum maps four of them to five lessons; the skills strand names no subject matter.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand B: Number

Numbers and operations: roots and numbers that never end (expectations B1, B2).

  1. Roots, and numbers that never end Ordering rational and irrational numbers, and estimating and calculating square roots (B1.2, B1.3). Invention × 2

Strand C: Algebra

Patterns, variables, equations and coding (expectations C1, C2, C3).

  1. Restoring and balancing an equation Solving equations with several terms, and checking the solutions (C2.3). Reflection × 2

Strand D: Data

Managing and analysing data, and likelihood (expectations D1, D2).

  1. Counting letters to read a hidden message Telling one-variable data from two-variable data, through a count of letters (D1.1). Invention

Strand E: Spatial Sense

Shape, location and movement, and measurement (expectations E1, E2).

  1. Stars and polygons that fill a wall Identifying the properties of shapes that tessellate and the transformations in tessellations (E1.1). Reflection
  2. Measuring land, circles and ceilings Solving problems about perimeter, circumference, area, volume and surface area with appropriate formulas (E2.3). ReflectionInvention × 2
