About Course

The Grade 8 Mathematics course is designed to build a strong foundation in the core mathematical skills learners need for success throughout the Senior Phase and beyond.

The course follows the CAPS/DBE curriculum and covers key Grade 8 topics such as Whole Numbers, Integers, Common Fractions, Decimal Fractions, Exponents, Numeric and Geometric Patterns, Algebraic Expressions and Equations, Functions and Relationships, Geometry of Straight Lines, Geometry of 2D Shapes, Transformation Geometry, Measurement, Data Handling, and Probability.

Learners work through structured lessons, worked examples, practice exercises, quizzes, assignments, revision activities, and examination-style questions. The course focuses on developing number sense, algebraic thinking, problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning, and confidence in working with unfamiliar questions.

By the end of the course, learners should have a solid understanding of Grade 8 Mathematics and be better prepared for school-based assessments, examinations, and progression into Grade 9.

Data Handling
<p>Pose investigative questions; select data sources and samples; design questionnaires; organise data using tallies, tables and stem-and-leaf displays; group data; calculate and interpret mean, median, mode, range and extremes.</p>

Probability
<p>List outcomes for equally likely experiments; calculate theoretical probability; predict relative frequency; compare experimental relative frequency with probability and explain differences.</p>

Geometry of Straight Lines
<p>Recognise angle relationships formed by perpendicular lines, intersecting lines and parallel lines cut by a transversal; solve geometric problems using these relationships.</p>

Triangles
<p>Classify triangles by sides and angles; investigate the sum of interior angles, equilateral-triangle angles and isosceles base angles; solve unknown-angle and unknown-side problems.</p>

Quadrilaterals
<p>Define and classify parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, trapezia and kites; investigate side and angle properties and the interior-angle sum; solve geometric problems.</p>

Similar and Congruent 2D Shapes
<p>Identify and describe congruent and similar shapes by comparing shape and size, then apply the properties in geometric reasoning.</p>

Term 1-3 Mathematics Project
<p>A formal project combining selected content from Terms 1 to 3, completed before the end of Term 3 with clear milestones and assessment criteria.</p>

Term 3 Revision and Formal Test
<p>Revision and formal assessment of data handling, probability, straight-line geometry and the properties of two-dimensional shapes.</p>
