Welcome to Honors Math 8! 

Click here for the syllabus:  Honors 8

I believe in giving meaningful homework assignments.  Homework is assigned to drive the instruction of the following day, so it is important when it's assigned.  HOWEVER, homework should not take more than 30 minutes.  You know your child best, so if they are too frustrated - make them stop! Please sign your name so I know what happened and they will receive full credit.

Looking for Pythagoras : The Pythagorean Theorem

In Looking for Pythagoras, students explore two important ideas: the Pythagorean Theorem and square roots.  They also review and make connections among the concepts of area, distance, and irrational numbers.  

Students will learn to:

   *Relate the area of a square to the side length

   *Estimate the values of square roots of whole numbers

   *Locate irrational numbers on a number line

   *Develop strategies for finding the distance between two points on a coordinate grid

   *Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem

   *Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve everyday problems
