This document is organized by the common core 8th grade math domains and provides standard descriptions, student friendly goals, student problems that match each common core standard, writing prompts, and teacher solutions. 62 pages are student worksheets and the other 62 pages are those same worksheets with solutions added. These are not task problems, they are skill and cluster support problems.

This is a Number Sense Unit that contains one real world task and 16 activities that build upon each other. Most activities incorporate the use of mathematical modeling including pictographs, charts, T-Bars, geometric models, and two-dimensional graphing and the use of a novel manipulative. The activities were designed to develop a deeper and richer fluency of number sense while addressing each of the common core 8th grade number sense curriculum standard goals. In addition, this unit prepare

This document is a step-by-step explanation of linear equations and their graphs. It includes the parts of a graph, plotting, the slope of a line, types of lines, linear equations, rewriting equations in slope-intercept form, finding the x- and y-intercepts, and writing linear equations.

This document shows the sequence of steps for solving equations. A step-by-step explanation guides the steps of solving 1-step, 2-step, and solving problems with variables on both sides of the equal sign. Problems where a variable is under a square root symbol or inside of an absolute value symbol are included as well. This is one of 17 units in The Search For 1.

This is a graphic organizer that students can refer to or enlarged into a poster. It outlines the use of PEMDAS to 1. simplify expression on both sides of an equation, 2. create only one variable term, and 3. solve using properties of equality. It's PEMDAS used forwards and backwards.

This document explains and shows the symbol notation for expressing roots, how to find roots, and compute with roots. The use of prime factors is emphasized throughout these examples. The process of rationalizing the denominator is included and the meaning of fractional roots are shown. Also included are problems that include absolute value calculations.

This document illustrates how to simplify expressions using the order of operations. It includes a graphic organizer which helps students to follow PEMDAS. This is one of 17 units in The Search For 1.

This is a document that explains the integer rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It also explains the differences between negative values to the second power. This is one of 17 units in The Search For 1.

This document is a step-by-step guide as to how to perform a translation or a reflection on a two-dimensional graph. It also provides guidance for determining the length of a segment on a two-dimensional graph using Pythagorean Theorem and the Distance Formula.

This is a document that explains the meaning of a variable, how to calculate variable terms using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It also explains powers with both positive and negative exponents. Step-by-step explanations accompany each problem example. This is one of 17 units in The Search For 1.

This document shows and explains the process of using the distributive property with monomials and binomials, binomials with binomials, and binomials with trinomials. This is one of 17 units in The Search For 1.

This document shows the process of substitution values into an algebraic expressions. A list of words, phrases, and symbols are provided and along with the mathematical operation they connect to. Examples of written expressions and their math sentence equivalence are provided.
