Common questions

What do 8th Grade students learn about linear equations?

Solving one-step, two-step and multi-step equations. At 8th Grade, our resources focus on: understanding an equation as a balance; using inverse operations to isolate the variable; solving one-step, two-step and multi-step linear equations; checking a solution by substitution.

Where should we start?

Read the study guide first, then start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet. Finish with the topic test.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Start with the Level 1 worksheet for the topic — if it's easy, move up a level.
  2. Use the answer sheet's working, not just the final answer, to check the method.
  3. Finish a topic with the topic test to see whether the skill is secure.
  4. Two or three short sessions a week beat one long one.
