🎯 Prepare students for deeper mathematical thinking with authentic SBA-style performance tasks.

This 8th Grade Math resource includes 5 multi-part SBA-style performance tasks designed to strengthen Claim 2 problem solving, mathematical modeling, reasoning, and real-world application skills. Each task engages students in extended thinking through meaningful contexts, multiple representations, and written justification.

Unlike traditional test prep worksheets, these tasks are structured as mini performance-task experiences that require students to:
✔ analyze situations
✔ model relationships
✔ interpret mathematical meaning
✔ justify conclusions with evidence
✔ connect multiple representations
✔ apply mathematics in real-world contexts

Students work through sustained problem-solving scenarios involving:

• linear relationships
• geometry and distance
• statistics and data analysis
• inequalities
• proportional reasoning
• interpreting slope and y-intercepts
• comparing mathematical models
