Summer Learning: Bridging the Gap to 8th Grade Math
8th grade math hits differently — slopes, functions, square roots, and linear equations all show up at once, and students who walk in unprepared feel it fast.

Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Calculate slope from a graph or two points using rise over run and interpret it as a rate of change
Write and graph linear equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), identifying slope and y-intercept
Identify functions from equations, tables, and graphs — including using the vertical line test
Build input-output tables and evaluate functions for specific domain values
Simplify square roots and cube roots and estimate their placement on a number line
Derive a linear equation from a graph or from two given points
Recognize special cases of linear equations, including horizontal and vertical lines
Apply linear functions to model and solve real-world problems

Drawing on a wealth of classroom experience and a passion for modern pedagogy, Sabrina Keller transforms complex content into accessible, engaging lessons. Her innovative approach—characterized by strategic use of digital platforms and interactive assessment techniques—empowers students to excel academically while fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. While her primary emphasis is elementary school math, she teaches everything from pre-K number sense to education classes at the university level in her capacity as adjunct professor at BYU-Idaho.
8th grade math hits differently — slopes, functions, square roots, and linear equations all show up at once, and students who walk in unprepared feel it fast. This course closes that gap before the school year starts. Over four sessions, students master the core concepts that define 8th grade math: calculating slope, writing and graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form, identifying functions using tables and graphs, and simplifying square and cube roots. Every topic is taught with real-world context and hands-on practice so skills actually stick. If your student wants to start 8th grade confident — not catching up — this is the course.
