Students practice graphing compound inequalities. They draw a Venn Diagram on two different sports visualizing that their is a middle section on commonality among the two sports groups and then relate that concept to compound inequalities.

Students describe relations and graph linear functions. After studying a geometric shape and a verbal statement, students contrast the differences between the verbal statement and the picture. They determine functions and graph...

Eighth graders solve problems using proportions with scaled drawings. They work with maps and blue-prints discussing scales and plans and examine different polygons and figure out the scale factors or proportions they have been changed by.

Eighth graders create their own cane flute. They use a model flute to gain the correct measurements and use the scientific method to construct the flute to have sound quality and pitch accuracy.
