First things first, if you haven't already, please listen to this short, 7 minute podcast about why you are not bad at math and it is all in your head! ANYONE can be good at math, even if you haven't been good at it in your past!
I may be a little biased, but I think 8th grade math is the greatest! 8th grade math is your last step before you transition from awesome middle school mathematicians to amazingly awesome high school mathematicians. We will learn the last of the basic skills you need in order to be successful in Math I-Math IV in high school as well as college level classes. We will focus heavily on solving equations, graphing, and the Pythagorean Theorem.
This year, we won't just become mathematical masters, we will also sharpen our inquiry, critical thinking, and problem solving skills to make us top-notch candidates for whatever careers we seek in life. Did you know one of the most common causes of someone losing their job is because of how well they work with others within the workplace? We will also be working on our ability to work well with others in a collaborative environment with constructive criticism and positive feedback.
