Educational Activities and Teaching Resources for 8th Grade

Eighth grade represents the end of an important chapter in every students’ educational journey. In math, these students are ready to tackle algebraic expressions, equations, and functions. They're solving for X like it's a treasure hunt, and mastering the art of graphing like they're Picasso with a pencil. From linear equations to quadratic formulas, these kids are learning to solve problems that are a little more complex than anything they’ve seen to date. With all these skills under their belts, they're well on their way to living their best prime number lives. Who knew math could be so fun?

Eighth grade readers are all about learning to read between the lines, dissecting metaphors, and analyzing complex characters like it's their job (well, it kind of is!). Our flourishing readers are exploring some of the greatest works of literature known to humankind, and developing their own unique perspectives on them. By honing their reading and writing skills, they're well on their way to becoming the next great novelists and scholars.
