Grade 8 Mathematics — Lesson Plan

The learners should have knowledge and understanding of: volume of pyramids other than square and rectangular pyramids, cones, and spheres; the Pythagorean Theorem; triangle inequality theorems; earning money, profit and loss, "best buys," buying on terms; linear equations in one variable; linear inequalities in one variable and their graphs; linear equations in two variables and their graphs.

By the end of the term, the learners are able to: find the volume of pyramids other than square and rectangular pyramids, and the volumes of cones and spheres; use the Pythagorean theorem to find sides in right triangles and its converse to classify triangles; use the triangle inequality theorems to establish results for angles and sides in triangles; solve financial problems involving earning money, profit and loss, "best buys," and buying on terms; solve linear equations and linear inequalities in one variable; graph linear inequalities in one variable; graph linear equations in two variables.
