MAT-08.NO.NS.02

BPSS-MAT-NO logo 8th Grade (MAT) Targeted Standard  
 (NO) Number and Operations 
(NS) Number Sense
Learners will expand their knowledge of the number system to create connections and solve problems within and across concepts.
MAT-08.NO.NS.02 Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of irrational expressions involving one operation.*

  • MAT-08.NO.NS.01 Compare and classify real numbers within the real number system.
  • MAT-08.NO.NS.02 Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of irrational expressions involving one operation.
  • MAT-08.NO.NS.03 Use scientific notation to represent very large or very small quantities. Interpret scientific notation generated by technology. Compare and order numbers in scientific and standard notation.
  • MAT-09.AR.06 Solve linear equations and inequalities (to include compound inequalities) in one variable.
  • MAT-09.AR.08 Graph the solution set to a two-variable system of linear equations. Create and graph the solution set to a two-variable system of linear inequalities in context.
  • MAT-09.AR.09 Solve absolute value equations and inequalities in one or two variables.
  • MAT-12.AR.09 Represent constraints by equations or inequalities and by systems of equations and/or inequalities and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.
