North Dakota Grade 8 Math Standards

The official North Dakota Grade 8 math standards, grouped by domain with the exact code and description for each expectation.

8.NO

  • 8.NO.NS.1Compare and classify real numbers within the real number system
  • 8.NO.NS.2Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of irrational expressions involving one operation
  • 8.NO.NS.3Use scientific notation to represent very large or very small quantities. Interpret scientific notation generated by technology. Compare and order numbers in both scientific and standard notation
  • 8.NO.O.1Evaluate mentally the square roots of perfect squares up to 225 and cube roots of perfect cubes up to 1000
  • 8.NO.O.2Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers using strategies or procedures

8.AR

  • 8.AR.EE.1Explain the relationship between repeated multiplication and the properties of integer exponents. Apply a single exponent property to generate equivalent numeric and algebraic expressions that include numerical coefficients
  • 8.AR.EE.2Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form xΒ² = p and xΒ³ = p, where p is a non-negative rational number
  • 8.AR.EE.3Explain the characteristics of a linear relationship, including identifying the slope and y-intercept in tables, graphs, equations, and descriptions
  • 8.AR.EE.4Represent linear relationships using tables, graphs, equations, and descriptions when given a relationship in one of these forms
  • 8.AR.EE.5Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients and variables on both sides, including equations that require using the distributive property and/or combining and collecting like terms. Interpret the number of solutions. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions
  • 8.AR.EE.6Read, write, and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions including expressions involving absolute value. Solve and graph equations of the form |x|=rwhereris a nonnegative rational number
  • 8.AR.EE.7Solve and graph inequalities in one variable with rational number coefficients and variables on both sides, including inequalities that require using the distributive property and/or combining like terms
  • 8.AR.EE.8Graph linear inequalities in two variables on a coordinate plane. Interpret the possible solutions in the context of authentic problems
  • 8.AR.F.1Defend whether a relation is a function from various representations using appropriate function language
  • 8.AR.F.2Compare and contrast properties of two linear functions, each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, and/or by descriptions)
  • 8.AR.F.3Compare and contrast linear and non-linear functions represented in different ways (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, and/or by descriptions)
  • 8.AR.F.4Model a linear function between two quantities by creating a table, graph, and equation. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models
  • 8.AR.F.5Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph including where the function is constant, increasing, or decreasing; linear or nonlinear; and discrete or continuous. Create a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function described

8.GM

  • 8.GM.AV.1Apply given formulas to solve problems involving the volume of cones, cylinders, and spheres, including authentic problems
  • 8.GM.GF.1Perform single transformations to a figure on the coordinate plane and determine whether the figures are congruent or similar

  • 8.GM.GF.3Name the type of transformation needed to map a pre-image to its image
  • 8.GM.GF.4Describe the following angle-pair relationships: interior and exterior angles of triangles and angles formed when a transversal cuts parallel lines or intersecting lines. Solve for an unknown angle in a figure by applying facts about these angles
  • 8.GM.GF.5Describe the relationship between the leg lengths and the hypotenuse length of a right triangle. Determine whether a triangle is a right triangle using this relationship
  • 8.GM.GF.6Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in two and three dimensions on and off a coordinate plane, including authentic problems

8.DPS

  • 8.DPS.D.1Interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association
  • 8.DPS.D.2Draw an informal trend line on a given scatter plot with a linear association and justify its fit by describing the closeness of the data points to the line
  • 8.DPS.D.3Solve authentic problems in the context of bivariate measurement data by interpreting the slope and intercept(s) and making predictions using a linear model
  • 8.DPS.D.4Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing bivariate categorical data collected from the same subjects
