Grade 8 learners will demonstrate an understanding of ratios, rates, proportional reasoning, percents, perfect squares, and square roots. They will demonstrate an understanding of multiplication and division of fractions, mixed numbers, and integers, and they will make connections among all four operations. Learners will graph and analyze linear relations, and model and solve linear equations. They will develop and apply the Pythagorean theorem, and they will draw and construct nets of objects. They will determine the surface area of prisms and cylinders, and they will develop and apply formulas for determining their volume. Learners will draw and interpret views of objects, and they will demonstrate an understanding of tessellations, critique ways in which data are presented, and determine the probability of independent events.
The Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices provide guidance to all Manitoba educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments to strengthen, extend, and expand student learning.
