Month

A month is a unit of time that is approximately equal to the length of time it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth. The modern calendar, known as the Gregorian calendar, divides the year into 12 months.

Importance of Months

Understanding the concept of months is important for various reasons, including keeping track of time, scheduling events, and understanding seasonal changes.

Studying the months and their properties helps in developing a better understanding of the calendar system, which is essential for time management and planning.

Knowing the number of days in each month and identifying leap years is also helpful in various mathematical and practical applications.

By learning about months, students can improve their time management skills and develop a better understanding of the passage of time.

Overall, the concept of months is an important aspect of everyday life and plays a crucial role in various fields such as mathematics, science, and scheduling.

Grade 8 Curriculum Focal Points (NCTM)

Algebra: Analyzing and representing linear functions and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations

Students use linear functions, linear equations, and systems of linear equations to represent, analyze, and solve a variety of problems. They recognize a proportion (y/x = k, or y = kx) as a special case of a linear equation of the form y = mx + b, understanding that the constant of proportionality (k) is the slope and the resulting graph is a line through the origin. Students understand that the slope (m) of a line is a constant rate of change, so if the input, or x-coordinate, changes by a specific amount, a, the output, or y-coordinate, changes by the amount ma. Students translate among verbal, tabular, graphical, and algebraic representations of functions (recognizing that tabular and graphical representations are usually only partial representations), and they describe how such aspects of a function as slope and y-intercept appear in different representations. Students solve systems of two linear equations in two variables and relate the systems to pairs of lines that intersect, are parallel, or are the same line, in the plane. Students use linear equations, systems of linear equations, linear functions, and their understanding of the slope of a line to analyze situations and solve problems.

Connections to the Grade 8 Focal Points (NCTM)

Geometry: Given a line in a coordinate plane, students understand that all 'slope triangles' - triangles created by a vertical 'rise' line segment (showing the change in y), a horizontal 'run' line segment (showing the change in x), and a segment of the line itself - are similar. They also understand the relationship of these similar triangles to the constant slope of a line.
