Math 8 Honors Chapter 2 — Algebra and Equations

In Chapter 2: Algebra and Factoring, students transition from arithmetic to the abstract language of mathematics. This unit goes beyond the basics to cover solving multi-step equations involving fractions, decimals, and the distributive property.

A unique highlight of this honors module is the early introduction to algebraic factoring. Students learn to identify the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and explore the Difference of Squares, providing them with a significant advantage in math competitions and high school mathematics. These resources are designed to build the "algebraic fluency" required for the BC Math 8 Honors curriculum and beyond.
