8th Grade Homeschool Curriculum

Eighth grade is the bridge to high school, and this homeschool curriculum treats it that way. Math centers on linear equations and functions to set up Algebra I, writing turns into full argumentative essays, and science leans into physical science reasoning. Auto-graded work plus gradebook averages give you a clean picture of high-school readiness by spring.
