Year 8 Maths
Rational numbers and their rules, equations with the unknown on both sides, cubes and roots, interest that piles up, and graphs that tell a story.

- Properties of rational numbersLesson
Add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers, and use the properties that make the work shorter.
- Playing with numbersLesson
Use the divisibility tests and letter-for-digit puzzles to find missing digits.
- Squares and square rootsLesson
Square whole numbers and find the square roots of perfect squares.
- Cubes and cube rootsLesson
Cube a number, recognise a perfect cube, and find a cube root by prime factorisation.
- Exponents and powersLesson
Work out powers and use the laws of exponents to simplify them.
- Discount and taxLesson
Work out a discount, a sale price, and the price once tax has been added.
- Compound interestLesson
Work out compound interest and the amount it grows to, and use the same idea for growth and depreciation.
- Direct and inverse proportionLesson
Tell direct proportion from inverse proportion, and use each to find a missing quantity.
Algebra
- Linear equations with the unknown on both sidesLesson
Solve equations that have the unknown on both sides, and use them to answer word problems.
- Algebraic identitiesLesson
Use (a + b)², (a - b)² and a² - b² to expand brackets and to multiply quickly.
- FactorisationLesson
Break an algebraic expression into factors, and use those factors to divide one expression by another.
- Introduction to graphsLesson
Plot and read points on a grid, read a line graph, and work out values from a simple linear relation.
