Résumé :
Math Mammoth Grade 8-A Worktext (International Version) is the first student book for eighth grade mathematics and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 8 complete curriculum. Please note: The worktext does not include the answer key. The answer keys for grade 8 are sold as a separate book. This book starts with a study of exponent laws using both numerical and algebraic expressions. The first chapter also covers scientific notation (both with large and small numbers) significant digits and calculations with numbers given in scientific notations. In chapter 2 students learn about geometric transformations (translations reflections rotations dilations) common angle relationships and volume of prisms cylinders spheres and cones. Next in chapter 3 our focus is on linear equations. Students both review and learn more about solving linear equations including equations whose solutions require the usage of the distributive property and equations where the variable is on both sides. Chapter 4 presents an introduction to functions. Students construct functions to model linear relationships learn to use the rate of change and initial value of the function and they describe functions qualitatively based on their graphs....

Biographie:
Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her. Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the why of mathematics, though not forgetting the how and the needful practice. Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music....
