We study tables, charts, and graph, in particular we study distance-time graphs and speed-time graphs.

In our earlier classes (Math 7), students should have learned the basics of reading, interpreting and graphing of tables, charts, and graphs, as well as working with distance-time graphs.

So we focus on study speed-time graphs which can contain more information about the motion of an object than that of a distance-time graph.

With a speed-time graph, we can calculate acceleration, as well as calculating distance traveled, which is the area under the speed time graph.

#1 – #6, #12 – #17

We finish going over the remaining math contest questions.

We study money exchange and talk about the difference between selling and buying price in real world for money exchange.

We study taxation focusing on individual income tax and property tax. Note, the book talks about Singapore personal income tax and property tax, which is different than the US system. But the concept is the same and hopefully that the students will know how to apply what they learn to real world situations.
