Learning Targets: 8.NS.1 I can tell the difference between rational and irrational numbers. I can write repeating decimals in fraction form.
8.NS.2 I can use reasoning to determine between which two consecutive whole numbers a square root will fall. I can plot the estimated value of an irrational number on a number line. I can estimate the value of an irrational number by rounding to a specific place value.
8.EE.2 I can recognize taking a square root as the inverse of squaring a number. I can recognize taking a cube root as the inverse of cubing a number. I can find the square root of a perfect square and cube root of a perfect cube. I can solve equations of the form x^2= 121 and x^3= 27. I know that the square root of a non-perfect square will be irrational.
8.G.6 I can use visual models to demonstrate the relationship of the three side lengths of any right triangle. I can use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if a given triangle is a right triangle.
8.G.7 I can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find an unknown side length of a right triangle. I can draw a diagram and use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-world problems involving right triangles. I can draw a diagram and use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-world problems involving right triangles.
8.G.8 I can connect any two points on a coordinate grid to a third point so that the three points form a right triangle. I can use the right triangle and the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between the original two points.
