CURRICULUM:

III.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTION:

K to 12

Mathematics 8 deals with key concepts and skills under the K-12 curriculum namely number sense, measurement, algebra,
geometry, probability and statistics. Specifically, Grade 8 students are expected to manifest mastery on special products and factors,
rational algebraic expressions, relations and functions, system of linear equations and inequalities in two variables, axiomatic
development of geometry, triangle congruence and inequalities in a triangle, measures of variability and basic concepts of
probability. These concepts are being applied in solving problems for the students to develop analytical and critical thinking. Values
are also integrated in order for the students to be developed not only intellectually but also morally and spiritually.
