Cluster 8.EE.BUnderstand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.
Where this sits in the school year
Our Grade 8 Math scope and sequence teaches 8.EE.B.5 in Unit 3: Proportional Relationships & Slope, weeks 7–9.
Use similar triangles to show slope is constant, and derive y = mx and y = mx + b. See the full pacing guide →
