Wake County Resources
Follow THIS LINK for the Wake County Common Core Math 8 teaching videos. If you would like me to print out any of these sheets for you so that you may take notes at home, let me know!
All-encompassing sites
These sites have all sorts of things you need.
- Khan Academy - has videos and practice questions for students to use. If they create an account, they can track their own progress and earn rewards!
- Math Worksheets 4 Kids - has all kinds of practice worksheets with answer keys based on exactly what you are looking for.
- Regents Exam Prep Center - webpages with examples and instruction for a wide range of algebra topics.
- Virtual Nerd - math 8 can be a mix of middle grades math, pre-algebra, and algebra depending on the site's definition of these courses.
Other Resources

Equations Review
- Graphing
- Matching (a mix) - Print this activity to match graphs, tables, and verbal descriptions of quadratic, exponential, and linear equations.
- Matching (quadratics) - warning!!! The first page is the answer key! You could use this to practice factoring, expanding, creating equations of quadratic functions.
- Properties of Exponential Functions - growth and decay
- Quadratic Functions
- Average Rate of Change - video here
- Modeling Linear Relationships
- Slope and Rate of change information - how to calculate
- Video on calculating slope given two coordinates
- Video on how to determine linear or nonlinear
- Video on how to graph a linear function given a rule (like #6 with four equations to graph)
- Notes/examples/practice (with answer key) - standard form (go to the bottom and click "download worksheet")
- Practice for standard form and slope-intercept form - sample from textbook
- Linear Regression - REVIEW KEY
- NEXT-NOW
- Interpreting slope given a situation
- Domain and Range
- VERY good information on what a function is, examples and non-examples, practice problems at the bottom - LOOK AT THIS!!!
- Practice problems - domain and range - click here
Algebra
- Solving equations (formulas) for a variable - this is actually called "literal equations"
- Systems of Equations (I would focus on substitution and word problems)
- Very good notes on solving by graphing - here
- Also good notes on solving by graphing - with video - here
- Solving by substitution - equal values method - setting both equations equal to each other - click here
- Solving by substitution - Check out the links below.
- Solving by elimination!
- http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/12-2x2-systems-of-equations/03-solving-by-elimination-addition-01
- video - https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-basics/core-algebra-systems/core-algebra-systems-tutorial/v/solving-systems-of-equations-by-elimination
- video of the teacher at whiteboard - neat! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tphSgpilNv8
- Word problems - click here (regents exam prep) and here (khan academy video)
- Kuta worksheet with answer here
- Systems of Inequalities
- FACTORING
- Khan Academy - start HERE (types to study listed below)
- factoring as (x+a)(x+b)
- factoring quadratics that start with x^2 (coefficient is 1)
- quadratics that start with ax^2 (coefficient is not 1)
- factoring by grouping - THIS is what I was showing you in class. There is the box method and then factoring by grouping. There are a BAGILLION ways you can use to factor. I would choose one of these methods (or choose your own method!) and stick with it. Become an expert at it
- Factoring quadratics when the leading coefficient is not one - BOX METHOD
- Factoring quadratics when leading coefficient is not one - BY GROUPING (what I showed you in class)
- All the possible documents, powerpoints, and videos you could imagine on factoring - HERE
- Way too much factoring practice with answers - HERE
- Khan Academy - start HERE (types to study listed below)
- BIG IDEA: using factoring and quadratics in word problems - go HERE
Statistics and Probability
- Calculating mean, median, mode, Q1, Q3, IQR, standard deviation
- How to calculate mean, median, mode - webpage here
- Quartiles and IQR video - here
- Standard Deviation - video on what it represents (you don't need to worry about how to calculate it by hand)
- Estimating Median from a histogram - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1DkGMh0sXI
- Estimating Mean from a histogram - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik7LAJg432k
- Describing Distributions
- Calculating all of these items on a calculator - video with notes/example problems
- NOTE: WE USE Sx FOR STANDARD DEVIATION :)
- Correlation
- Types of correlation
- Correlation coefficient (or 'r')- how to decide whether a correlation is strong or weak
- How to calculate r with the calculator - video with example linear regression problem
- Two-way tables
- Two-way frequency tables - http://mathbitsnotebook.com/Algebra1/StatisticsReg/ST2TwoWayTable.html

Geometry
- Parallel and perpendicular lines
- slopes and how to find the line through the given point - webpage here
- Pythagorean Theorem
- Khan Academy video: we will be putting the square root of numbers into our calculators, so don't worry about the factorization part

- great word problems practice -BLANK COPY and KEY
- Keep in mind that with the Math I test, PT will most likely be used with other topics, such as quadractics
- ALSO keep in mind, that once you have solved for the missing side, you will likely have to find perimeter or area
- Volume (Cones, Cylinders, and Spheres)
- Basic stuff - webpage here - formulas and example problems
- Remember the rap we learned in class!
- Practice problems - practice the harder ones, where you are GIVEN volume and have to find one of the dimensions
