Connected Mathematics Series
At the core of the 8th grade math are the Connected Mathematics Program Modules.   Listed below are the booklets in the series.  The first five books form the basis of 8th grade math and cover the majority of the topics normally covered in an Algebra One course. 

Thinking with Mathematical Models
Representing Relationships
Linear Equations

Introduction to functions and modeling; slope and finding the equation of a line.

TMM Unit Goals

Looking for Pythagoras
Pythagorean Theorem

Investigating the Pythagorean Theorem; area; irrational numbers; slope; distance

LFP Unit Goals

Growing, Growing, Growing
Exponential Relationships

Exponential growth, and decay through data tables, graphs, and simple symbolic forms

GGG Unit Goals

Frogs, Fleas, and Painted Cubes
Quadratic Relationships

Growth and quadratic functions through data tables, graphs, and simple symbolic forms

FFPC Unit Goals
