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!
Review Games
The following are sites the kids can go to to play review games.
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
Below are the main domains of the common core standards. Below each domain, I will list the unit(s) associated with the domain. Below that is a list of links that could be helpful to students in reviewing.
*WORD OF CAUTION* This can be an overwhelming list. Please look through your packet and analysis to decide first what you would LIKE to review, THEN look for it in the list below.

Statistics and Probability
Investigating Bivariate Data - Scatter Plots and Two-Way Tables
- How to create a scatter plot - video
- Types of association - notes here
- Two-way tables - frequency vs. relative frequency
- The point of investigating two-way tables it to see that we should not always go with the numbers we have, but use those numbers to create percentages. Comparing percentages vs. just numbers can give different info. For example, if we interview 20 less boys that girls about their favorite sports, we can't compare the plain numbers because there aren't the same number of each!
