Math Galaxy 8th Grade Math vs Algebra without Fear

In eighth grade math the emphasis is on: (1) solving linear equations and systems of linear equations, (2) functions, and (3) geometric transforms, congruence, similarity and Pythagoras. Math Galaxy’s Eighth Grade Math covers all of the Common Core math standards for eighth grade as listed below. The concepts are presented in bite-size pieces with an unlimited supply of practice problems, with numbers chosen randomly. Illustrations are used throughout to reinforce the concepts. You can be guided through problems step-by-step or just give final answers. Certificates with scores can be emailed from final-answer mode to be printed. Topics covered are listed below along with their Common Core standard. More details on common core standards can be found at: http://www.corestandards.org/Math/ Includes Schoolwork support for teachers with Apple School Manager and iOS 11.3 or later.

The Algebra without Fear app helps you gain confidence in your basic algebra skills. The app generates an unlimited number of problems of various types, so you can practice: •Solving word problems. •Solving linear equations. •Solving linear equations by Completing the Square. •Finding the greatest common divisor and least common multiple of two numbers. •Finding the equation for a line. •Finding the distance between two points in the plane. •Finding the midpoint between two points in the plane. •Solving systems of linear equations in 2 variables. •Factoring quadratics. •Finding the roots of a quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula. Each word problem includes a detailed explanation for how to construct the solution equation. The Reversed Number Problems screen, which is unique to this app, helps you learn how to identify the type of equation you need to use to solve a given word problem. The app allows you to work with numbers in the form of fractions as well as in decimal form. It comes with a built-in Calculator and a Factorizer tool (which will factor any positive integer that can be represented by 10 digits or less into its prime factors). Lots of useful information is included in the FAQ section of the app, which includes articles such as "Why Do I Have to Learn This Stuff?" and "What's the Best Way to Learn Algebra?" There is also an FYI section which contains essays that you might find interesting, such as "Is Algebra a Game?" and "Do Numbers Really Exist?".
