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.
