Grade 8 Mathematics Syllabus for 4th Term 2025

Area, perimeter, and volume


 Carry out calculations involving the perimeter and area of a rectangle, triangle, parallelogram and
trapezium. (Unit 3.1: page 104 – 105)
 Solve problems involving the circumference and area of circles, including by using the π key of a
calculator (Unit 3.2: page 109-111)
 Calculate lengths, surface areas, and volumes in right-angled prisms and cylinders (Unit 3.5, Page
118- 124)

Geometry
1. Calculate unknown angles and give simple explanations using the following geometrical
properties: Unit 4.1 (Page 137 – 138)
• Sum of angles at a point = 360°
• Sum of angles at a point on a straight line = 180°
• Vertically opposite angles are equal
• Angle sum of a triangle = 180° and angle sum of a quadrilateral = 360°.
2. Calculate unknown angles and give geometric explanations for angles formed within parallel
lines: (Unit 4.1 Page 139)
• Corresponding angles are equal,
• Alternate angles are equal
• Supplementary angles sum to 180°.

3. Know and use angle properties of regular polygons. Solve problems using properties of
angles, of parallel and intersecting lines, and triangles, other polygons and circles, justifying
inferences and explaining reasoning with diagrams and text (Unit 4.1 page 139)

4. Know and use Pythagoras’ theorem to solve two-dimensional problems involving right-angled
triangles (Unit 4.1: Page 142)

Shapes and geometric reasoning (Mathematics Checkpoint: Unit 12, page 121 - 127)
• Draw 3D shapes on isometric paper
• Analyze 3D shapes through plans and elevations
• Identify reflection symmetry in 3D shapes
• Use a straight edge and compasses to:
Construct the perpendicular from a point to a line and the perpendicular from a point on a
line

Position and movement (Mathematics Checkpoint Book 8: Unit 16 : 158 -164)


• Use the coordinate grid to solve problems involving translations, rotations, reflections and
enlargements
• Transform 2D shapes by combinations of rotations, reflections, and translations; describe
the transformation that maps an object onto its image
• Enlarge 2D shapes, given a center and positive integer scale factor; identify the scale factor
of an enlargement as the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding line segments (Unit
4.4, Page 147-148)
• Recognize that translations, rotations, and reflections preserve length and angle, and map
objects onto congruent images, and that enlargements preserve angle but not length
• Know what is needed to give a precise description of a reflection, rotation, translation, or
enlargement

Handling data ( Mathematics Checkpoint Book 8: Unit 18)


• Planning and collecting data
• Suggest a question to explore using statistical methods; identify the sets of data needed,
how to collect them, sample sizes and degree of accuracy
• Identify primary or secondary sources of suitable data
• Design, trial and refine data collection sheets
• Collect and tabulate discrete and continuous data, choosing suitable equal class intervals
where appropriate

Processing and presenting data ( Mathematics Checkpoint Book 8: Unit 18)


• Calculate statistics and select those most appropriate to the problem
• Select, draw, and interpret diagrams and graphs, including:
• Frequency diagrams for discrete and continuous data
• Line graphs for time series
• Scatter graphs to develop an understanding of correlation
• back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagrams

Interpreting and discussing results ( Mathematics Checkpoint Book 8: Unit 18)


• Interpret tables, graphs and diagrams and make inferences to support or cast doubt on
initial conjectures; have a basic understanding of correlation
• Compare two or more distributions; make inferences, using the shape of the distributions
and appropriate statistics
• Relate results and conclusions to the original question
