In Math, students must be able to solve linear equations, evaluate and compare functions, and work with scientific notation and irrational numbers. Additionally, students will have to accomplish some of these skills WITHOUT the use of a calculator.
Teachers work with students on a daily basis, unpacking assessment data and providing targeted support for students who have not yet mastered the required content. eCLASS pages are updated with resources, including practice assessments and writing prompts -- all as part of regular instruction.
In eighth grade, students must score at least 525+ for Proficient OR 579+ for Distinguished on the Math EOG (end of grade) GMAS. In addition to meeting scoring requirements, ALL students are expected to show growth from the previous year’s testing.
Eighth grade students also take the Algebra I EOC (end of course) exam in addition to the EOG.
