Number and operations
Proportionality
- 8.3A
Generalise that corresponding sides of similar shapes are proportional.
- 8.3B
Compare the attributes of a shape and its dilation on a coordinate plane.
- 8.3C
Explain the effect of a scale factor applied to a figure about the origin.
- 8.4A
Use similar right triangles to show slope is the same for any two points on a line.
- 8.4B
Graph proportional relationships and read the unit rate as the slope.
- 8.4C
Determine the rate of change and y-intercept from a table or graph.
- 8.5A
Represent linear proportional situations as y = kx.
- 8.5B
Represent linear non-proportional situations as y = mx + b.
- 8.5C
Contrast bivariate data that suggests a linear relationship with data that does not.
- 8.5D
Use a trend line to make predictions from bivariate data.
- 8.5E
Solve problems involving direct variation.
- 8.5F
Distinguish proportional from non-proportional situations.
- 8.5G
Identify functions from ordered pairs, tables, mappings and graphs.
- 8.5H
Identify examples of proportional and non-proportional functions.
- 8.5I
Write y = mx + b from a verbal, numerical, tabular or graphical description.
Expressions, equations, and relationships
- 8.6A
Describe the volume formula V = Bh of a cylinder.
- 8.6B
Model the relationship between the volume of a cylinder and a cone.
- 8.6C
Use models and diagrams to explain the Pythagorean theorem.
Partial Applies the theorem to find a side. Does not ask for the model that explains it.
- 8.7A
Solve problems involving the volume of cylinders, cones and spheres.
- 8.7B
Determine lateral and total surface area of prisms and cylinders.
- 8.7C
Use the Pythagorean theorem and its converse to solve problems.
- 8.7D
Find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.
- 8.8A
Write one-variable equations or inequalities with variables on both sides.
- 8.8C
Model and solve equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.
- 8.8D
Establish the triangle angle sum, exterior angle and angle-angle similarity.
Two-dimensional shapes
- 8.10A
Generalise the orientation and congruence properties of transformations.
- 8.10B
Differentiate transformations that preserve congruence from those that do not.
- 8.10C
Explain the effect of translations, reflections and rotations algebraically.
- 8.10D
Model the effect of a dilation on linear and area measurements.
Partial Applies the dilation and reads off the image. Does not ask how the area scales.
Measurement and data
Not a worksheet
These expectations have no sheet, for two different reasons. Listing them is the point — a catalog that showed only the hits would say this grade is fuller than it is.
Personal financial literacy (7) — a TEKS strand with no Common Core equivalent, and one Math Picnic has never built for. This is a gap, not a mismatch.
- 8.12ACompare how interest rate and loan length affect the cost of credit.
- 8.12BCalculate the total cost of repaying a loan under various rates.
- 8.12CExplain how small amounts invested regularly grow over time.
- 8.12DCalculate and compare simple interest and compound interest earnings.
- 8.12EIdentify the advantages and disadvantages of different payment methods.
- 8.12FDecide whether a situation represents a financially responsible decision.
- 8.12GEstimate the cost of a college education and devise a savings plan.
8.8B — Write a real-world problem for an equation with variables on both sides.
The expectation is writing a STORY for a given equation. Our word-problem sheets go the other way — a story to solve — and a generated sheet cannot mark an invented context.
8.11C — Simulate random samples from a population with known characteristics.
Generating the samples is the expectation, and a sheet holds one sample rather than the act of drawing many.
