Turkey 8th Grade Curriculum - Mathematics

This outlines the general topics covered in the 8th-grade mathematics curriculum in Turkey. Specifics may vary. The curriculum is structured around several key learning areas, including Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Data Analysis (including Probability and Statistics).

Key Topics:

• Çarpanlar ve Katlar (Factors and Multiples): This unit covers the concepts of prime factorization, greatest common divisor (GCD), and least common multiple (LCM).
• Üslü İfadeler (Exponential Expressions): Students learn about the properties of exponents, scientific notation, and operations with exponential expressions.
• Kareköklü İfadeler (Square Roots): This unit introduces the concept of square roots, simplifying square roots, and operations with square roots.
• Veri Analizi (Data Analysis): Students learn about different methods of data representation, including tables, graphs, and charts. They also study measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of dispersion (range, variance, standard deviation).
• Basit Olayların Olma Olasılığı (Probability of Simple Events): This unit introduces the basic concepts of probability, including calculating the probability of simple events, independent events, and dependent events.
• Cebirsel İfadeler ve Özdeşlikler (Algebraic Expressions and Identities): Students learn about simplifying algebraic expressions, factoring, and solving equations and inequalities.
• Doğrusal Denklemler (Linear Equations): This unit focuses on solving linear equations with one variable and systems of linear equations.
• Eşitsizlikler (Inequalities): Students learn about solving linear inequalities with one variable.
• Geometri (Geometry): Geometric concepts are explored, potentially including triangles, geometric solids, and transformations.
