South Carolina Academic Standards for Mathematics
8th Grade
Geometry
The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an understanding of the Pythagorean theorem; the use of ordered pairs, equations, intercepts, and intersections to locate points and lines in a coordinate plane; and the effect of a dilation in a coordinate plane.
Lessons (6)
Introduces students to plotting points on the Cartesian coordinate system -- an alternative to "Graphing and the Coordinate Plane."
Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
Demonstrates the connections between formulas and graphs.
Teaches distinguishing between possible and impossible graphs of functions as well as causes of graphical impossibility.
Students learn how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.
Demonstrates the connections between formulas, graphs and words.
