Year 8 · Ages 13–14
Level 8 Mathematics
Level 8 deepens algebra by introducing distributive laws, factorising and linear graphs. Students work with irrational numbers, apply Pythagoras' theorem, and start using two-way tables in probability.
Number and Algebra
- Work with rational and irrational numbers and estimate their values
- Apply the four operations to integers and simple algebraic expressions
- Expand brackets and collect like terms in algebraic expressions
- Factorise simple algebraic expressions using common factors
- Solve linear equations, including those with pronumerals on both sides
- Plot linear relationships on a coordinate plane and read values from graphs
- Apply percentage increase and decrease to real-world problems
Measurement and Geometry
- Calculate the circumference and area of circles
- Find the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders
- Use Pythagoras' theorem to find unknown sides in right-angled triangles
- Identify congruent figures and use the tests for triangle congruence
- Investigate properties of quadrilaterals and establish relationships between them
Statistics and Probability
- Explore variation in samples drawn from a population
- Use back-to-back stem-and-leaf plots to compare two data sets
- Construct two-way tables to represent compound events
- Calculate probabilities of complementary events and simple compound events
