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.

We start a new chapter on multi-variable factorization.

Today we study factoring with grouping, and sums and differences of powers.

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.

We study Fieta’s Formulae, which examines the relationships between the roots of a polynomial and its coefficients. We talk about using roots to make equations.

This concludes Chapter 8. Next week we will start a new chapter on factoring multi-variables polynomials.
