Mathematics (Grade VIII)
Grade VIII
Tk. 5,000
Tk. 2,500 / month
Overview
Unlock the world of numbers, patterns, and equations.
The Grade VI Mathematics syllabus is designed to cover essential mathematical concepts across various domains, building a solid foundation for future studies. The chart highlights the key areas of focus:
Identify and classify number types: integers, primes, squares, cubes, rational and irrational numbers- Convert and calculate fluently between fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Apply the four operations accurately with integers, fractions, and decimals
- Use estimation strategies including rounding and significant figures
- Solve percentage problems including profit/loss, compound interest, and reverse percentages
- Develop ratio and proportion skills in practical contexts
- Understand and manipulate algebraic expressions and formulas
- Solve equations and change the subject of formulas, including fractional and simultaneous types
- Explore linear, quadratic, and exponential sequences using nth term notation
- Apply geometrical terms and solve problems involving angles and polygons
- Calculate area and perimeter of 2D shapes using formulas and compound structures
