TAKS MATHEMATICS
The eighth-grade mathematics TAKS Objectives and TEKS Student Expectations (SE) describe
what students should know and be able to do in this grade. However, teachers need to have
complete understanding of the TEKS Student Expectations (SE) content that will be tested.
Understanding the curriculum content what comes before and after eighth grade will enable
them to assist students in learning the required mathematics knowledge and skills more
effectively. It is important that students develop conceptual understanding by engaging in
activities that require the use of manipulatives.
At eighth grade, students should be able to
TAKS Objective 1
ƒ
sequence numbers or the words associated with numbers;
ƒ
work with problems that include information expressed as numbers or ranges of numbers; and
ƒ
round numbers before performing any computations when estimating. The use of compatible numbers
(numbers that are easy to compute mentally) may be helpful.
TAKS Objective 2
ƒ identify proportional and non-proportional relationships;
ƒ write an expression to find the nth term where n represents the position of the term in the sequence; and
ƒ identify the expression when given terms in a sequence, and vice versa.
TAKS Objective 3
ƒ
find and apply scale factors in problem-solving situations;
ƒ
match a two-dimensional representation of a solid with a three-dimension representation of the same
solid, using the top, front, and/or side views of the solid;
ƒ
graph points on coordinate grids using all four quadrants; and
ƒ
recognize a picture or model of the Pythagorean Theorem.
TAKS Objective 4
iv
ƒ
utilize the conversions and formulas on the Mathematics Chart to solve problems;
ƒ
measure with the ruler on the Mathematics Chart only if the item specifically instructs students to use
the ruler;
ƒ
use the given dimensions of a figure to solve problems;
ƒ
recognize abbreviations of measurement units; and
ƒ
describe, in the form of a verbal or algebraic expression or a mathematical solution, the effect on
perimeter, area, or volume when the dimensions of a figure are changed (for example, if the sides of a
rectangle are doubled in length, then the perimeter is doubled, and the area is four times the original
area; if the edges of a cube are doubled in length, then the volume is eight times the original volume).
TAKS Objective 5
ƒ
distinguish between theoretical probability and experimental results;
ƒ
distinguish among mean, median, mode, and range to determine which is most appropriate for a
particular purpose;
ƒ
identify the missing piece of data that will produce a target mean, median, mode, and/or range for a data
set; and
ƒ
determine whether the graphical representation of the given data is appropriate and/or accurate.
TAKS Objective 6
ƒ
select the description of a mathematical situation when provided with a written or pictorial
prompt;
ƒ
identify the information that is needed to solve a problem;
ƒ
select or describe the next step or a missing step in a problem-solving situation;
ƒ
match informal language to mathematical language or symbols;
ƒ
identify the question that is being asked or answered;
ƒ
draw a conclusion by investigating patterns and/or sets of examples and nonexamples. A
nonexample, or counterexample, proves a general statement to be false;
ƒ
understand that nonsensical words may be used to label sets of examples and/or nonexamples; and
ƒ
choose the correct supporting information for a given conclusion.
MATHEMATICS CHART
v
ƒ
For eighth grade the Mathematics Chart will have measurement conversions on the front and formulas
on the back.
ƒ
A metric ruler and a customary ruler will be provided on the front of the separate Mathematics Chart.
ƒ
Items that require students to measure with a ruler from the Mathematics Chart may be found in any
objective as appropriate.
TEST FORMAT
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
The eighth grade test includes a test booklet and a separate machine-scorable answer document. Enough
room is left around each item in the booklet for students to work each problem. However, student
responses must be recorded on the separate answer document.
Any item may include application context and extraneous information.
Most items will be in a multiple-choice format with four answer choices.
Not here or a variation of this phrase may be used as the fourth answer choice when appropriate.
There will be a limited number of open-ended griddable items. For these items a seven-column grid
(with one column designated as a fixed decimal point) will be provided on the answer document for
students to record and bubble in their answers. Digits must be in the correct column(s) with respect to
the fixed decimal point. This griddable format is intended to allow students to work a problem and
determine the correct answer without being influenced by answer choices. An example of a blank grid
is shown below.

Test Taking Tips
vii
1. The students may write in this review booklet. Encourage
students to highlight the important information and sketch out
the problems in order to visualize and to change an abstract
concept into a concrete concept.
2. Rewrite the problem to make it understandable.
3. Teach students to mark through extra information and circle
the information needed to solve the problem.
4. Let the students develop their own strategies and encourage
them to share with the other students.
5. The students may work the problems before looking at the
answer choices, and then match their answers to the answer
choices.
6. Cross out the impossible answers.
7. Require the students to read their answers back into the
problems to see if the answer is reasonable.
