					| Course Description:  | 
|   | Math 8th is the third and culminating middle-level core math course. Instruction focuses on the study of expressions and equations, functions, and two- and three-dimensional figures. Students apply concepts they have learned previously to increasingly complex and abstract problems that model real-world math challenges. The course lays the groundwork for students to master higher-level high school mathematics. |
