Grade 8A Mathematics Day 1 Calendar and Unit Overview

Unit Question: The world we live in can sometimes seem chaotic. How do we put order to the chaos to enable us to better manage our passage through it?
Essential Questions How is direction communicated through integers How does solving equations & inequalities help us make sense of the world? How does the visual representation of linear equations & inequalities help us make sense of the world? Unit Calendar
