8th grade TEKS math worksheets
35 of 44 8th grade student expectations with a printable sheet · Ages 13–14
The wording beside each code is our own short summary of what the student expectation asks for, not its official text. For that, see Texas Administrative Code Chapter 111.
Number and operations
- 8.2A
Describe the relationships between sets and subsets of the real numbers.
- 8.2B
Approximate an irrational number and locate it on a number line.
- 8.2C
Convert between standard decimal notation and scientific notation.
- 8.2D
Order a set of real numbers.
Partial Estimates a square root to the nearest whole number. Does not order a set of real numbers.
Proportionality
- 8.3A
Generalize 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
Generalize 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.
