like
what we want
totalpossible
, then
change it to decimal or a percent.
If they describe a situation and
then ask you to decide what will
happen in a completely different

Probability and Scatter Plots (Grade 8) 3
Standard 8.13
The student will a) make comparisons, predictions, and inferences, using information
displayed in graphs; and b) construct and analyze scatterplots.
HINTS AND NOTES
Scatter plot-
is a graph that shows
the relationship between two sets of
data.
The data (ordered pairs) are graphed
on a coordinate plane and will have
positive, negative or no correlation.
Correlations
Positive-
Up from left to right
Negative-
Down from left to right
None
- points are scattered
everywhere
For scatter plots, look for crashing
planes or no relationship.
Look for patterns on graphs that will
help you predict what will happen in
the future.

results of an experiment designed
to determine the relationship
between the number of mutations
and the dose of radiation given to a
sample of mealy worms. Of the
following, which can you conclude
about the experiment?
F.
There are fewer mutations the higher the dose of radiation,
negative correlation.
G.
There are more mutations the lower the dose of radiation: a
negative correlation.
H.
There is no relationship between mutations and the dose of
radiation.

Standard 8.14The student will make connections between any two representations (tables, graphs, words, and rules) of a given relationship.
Standard 8.16
The student will graph a linear equation in two variables. HINTS AND NOTES
A relation is any set of ordered pairs.
All functions are relations, but not all relations are functions. Functions provide a distinct rule.
Functions can be represented as tables, graphs, equations, physical models, or in words.
When trying to write equations for real word situations.
The word “than” in a problem switches the order of the words.
The words “per” and “rate” usually mean multiply.
Use a proportion if a problem describes a situation and then asks you to find out what would happen in a slightly different situation.
Patterns, Functions, and Algebra (Grade 8)

Most equations will look likey = #x + #.
To go from a table to an equation or an equation to a table, the number by itself (not with x) in the equation is the y value when x is zero in the table.
To go from a table to an equation or an equation to a table, the number in front of x in the equation is found by putting the change in y over the change in x from the table.
To go from a graph to an equation or an equation to a graph, the number by itself (not with x) is where the line crosses the y-axis.
To go from a graph to an equation or an equation to a graph, the number in front of x in the equation tells you if the line is in a positive direction or a negative direction on the graph. To go from a table to a graph or
a graph to a table, the point where x is zero on the table is the point where the line crosses the y axis on the graph.
To go from a table to a graph or a graph to a table, the change in y over the change in x on the table tells you if the line goes in a positive or a negative direction on the graph.

Standard 8.15The student will
a) solve multistep linear equations in one variable on one and two sides of the equation; b) solve two-step linear inequalities and graph the results on a number line; and
c) identify properties of operations used to solve an equation.
In an equation, the equal sign indicates that the value on the left is the same as the value on the right.
To maintain equality, an operation that is performed on one side of an equation must be performed on the
other side.
When both expressions of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality sign reverses.
Commutative property for addition (5 + 4 = 4 + 5).
Commutative property for multiplication
(5 · 4 = 4 · 5).
Associative property of addition [5 + (4 + 3) = (5 + 4) + 3]

[5 · (4 · 3) = (5 · 4) · 3]
Subtraction and division are neither commutative nor associative.
Distributive property
[5 · (3 + 7) = (5 · 3) + (5 · 7), or 5 · (3 – 7) = (5 · 3) – (5 · 7)].
Identity elements are numbers that combine with other numbers without changing the other numbers.
The additive identity is zero (0). 5 + 0 = 5
The multiplicative identity is one (1).

When solving an inequality, plug in a number bigger or smaller than the answer choice. For example, for x > 6, plug in 7 and see if it works. For x < -4, plug in -5 and see if it works.

notation.
HINTS AND NOTES
Steps for ordering numbers:
1. Change all the numbers to
decimals.
2. Line up the decimals.
3. Add on zeros until the
numbers are the same
length. They should have all
the same number of digits.
4. Ignore the decimals and put
them in order.
In scientific notation, there can only
one digit in front of the decimal
point.
The exponent tells you how many
spaces the decimal needs to move
to get to where it is in the standard
number.
If the exponent is negative, the
decimal moves in the negative
direction. If the exponent is
positive, the decimal moves in the
positive direction.

When one attribute of a prism is changed through multiplication or division the volume increases by the same factor that the attribute
increased by. For example, if a prism has a volume of 2 x 3 x 4, the volume is 24. However, if one of the attributes are doubled, the volume doubles.
