This term, our Grade 8 mathematics students have been strengthening their skills in positive/negative number operations and the order of operations. They have been working on applying BIDMAS/BODMAS rules to solve complex numerical expressions accurately. Through problem-solving exercises and real-world applications, students have developed a deeper understanding of how numbers interact and the importance of calculating in the correct order.

As we move forward, students will soon begin a unit on fractions and percentages. They will explore how to simplify, compare, and operate with fractions, as well as how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. These skills will be essential for tackling practical applications, such as calculating discounts, interest rates, and proportions in real-life scenarios.

This unit will challenge students to think critically and apply mathematical reasoning to everyday problems, preparing them for even more advanced topics ahead.
