Common Core Standards

8th Grade Algebra I (CA State Standards)
Students learn to reason symbolically. Students learn to solve problems employing multiple techniques and extend their mathematical thinking, providing justifications for problem solving steps.
  • Linear Equations and Systems of Linear Equations
  • Operations with Polynomials
  • Quadratic Equations: Factoring, Completing the Square, Quadratic Formula
  • Operations with Rational Expressions and Functions
  • Solve Word Problems by Using Symbolic Notations and Applying Algebraic Techniques
