Notes on Reading the Washington State Mathematics Standards Transition Documents
This document serves as a guide to translate between the 2008 Washington State K-8 Learning Standards for Mathematics and
the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics. It begins with the Standards for Mathematical Practice which are
the backbone of the CCSS for Mathematics. These practices highlight the change in focus, through instructional practices, of
developing these ‘habits of mind’ in our students. One or more of these Standards for Mathematical Practice should be intentionally
incorporated in the development of any concept or procedure taught.
The Standards for Mathematical Practice are followed by the key critical areas of focus for a grade-level. These critical areas are the overarching
concepts and procedures that must be learned by students to be successful at the next grade level and beyond. As units are planned, one should
always reflect back on these critical areas to ensure that the concept or fluency developed in the unit is tied directly to one of these. The CCSS
were developed around these critical areas in order for instruction to be deep and focused on a few key topics each year. By narrowing the focus
and deepening the understanding, increases in student achievement will be realized.
The body of this document includes a two-column table which indicates the alignment of the 2008 Washington State K-8 Learning Standards for
Mathematics to the CCSS for Mathematics at a grade level. It is meant to be read from left to right across the columns. The right column contains
all of the CCSS for Mathematics for that grade. The left column indicates the grade-level Washington standard that most aligns to it.
Bolded words are used to describe the degree of alignment between these sets of standards. If the words bolded are Continue to, this indicates
that the CCSS standard and the Washington standard are closely aligned. The teacher should read the wording carefully on the CCSS standard
because often there is a more in-depth development of the aligned Washington standard and often there are more than one standard that
address a particular Washington standard. If the word extend is bolded that indicates that the Washington and CCSS standards are similar but
the CCSS takes the concept further than the Washington standard. Lastly, if the words Move students to are bolded, then the CCSS standards
take the Washington standard to a deeper or further understanding of this particular cluster concept. If the left-hand side is blank, the CCSS are
new material that does not match the Washington standards at this grade level. Sometimes there can be a page or more of these unaligned
standards. One is reminded that while this is new material for this grade level, other standards currently taught at this grade level in the 2008
Washington standards will have moved to other grades. The movement of these unaligned standards is laid out on the last pages of this
document.

Washington State
Grade 8 Mathematics Standards Transition Document
The Standards for Mathematical Practice describes varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their
students. These standards should be integrated throughout the teaching and learning of the content standards of the Common Core State
Standards.
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in
repeated reasoning.
Critical Areas of Focus for Grade 8
With full implementation of the Common Core State Standards for mathematics in Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three
critical areas: (1)
formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling as association in bivariate data
with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations;
(2)
grasping the concept of function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships;
(3)
analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and
understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Number System
2008 WA Grade 8 Learning Standards
Grade 8 CCSS
Students currently:
Students need to:
Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate
them by rational numbers.
8.4.D Identify rational and irrational numbers.
Continue to know that numbers that are not rational are called
irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal
expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion
repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats
eventually into a rational number. (8.NS.1)
Move students to use rational approximations of irrational numbers
to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them
approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of
expressions (e.g., π2). For example, by truncating the decimal
expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4
and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better
approximations. (8.NS.2)
Expressions and Equations
2008 WA Grade 8 Learning Standards
Students currently:
8.4.C Evaluate numerical expressions involving non-negative integer
exponents using the laws of exponents and the order of
operations.
Grade 8 CCSS
Students need to:
Work with radicals and integer exponents.
Continue to know and apply the properties of integer exponents,
extending to negative exponents, to generate equivalent numerical
expressions. For example, 32 × 3–5 = 3–3 = 1/33 = 1/27. (8.EE.1)
Collaboratively developed by OSPI and ESD Regional Mathematics Coordinators
Page 3
8.2.E Quickly recall the square roots of the perfect squares from 1
through 225 and estimate the square roots of other positive
numbers.
Use square root and extend to cube root symbols to represent
solutions to equations of the form x2 = p and x3 = p, where p is a
positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect
squares and extend to cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that
√2 is irrational. (8.EE.2)
8.4.A Represent numbers in scientific notation, and translate
numbers written in scientific notation into standard form.
Continue to use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit
times a whole-number power of 10 to estimate very large or very
small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is
than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United
States as 3 times 108 and the population of the world as 7 times 109,
and determine that the world population is more than 20 times
larger. (8.EE.3)
8.4.B Solve problems involving operations with numbers in scientific
notation and verify solutions.
Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation,
including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are
used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size
for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use
millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific
notation that has been generated by technology. (8.EE.4)
Students need to:
Understand the connections between proportional relationships,
lines, and linear equations.
Move students to graph proportional relationships, interpreting the
unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different
proportional relationships represented in different ways. For
example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time
equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater
speed. (8.EE.5)
Collaboratively developed by OSPI and ESD Regional Mathematics Coordinators
Page 4
Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same
between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the
coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the
origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical
axis at b. (8.EE.6)
Students need to:
Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear
equations.
8.1.A Solve one-variable linear equations.
Continue to solve linear equations in one variable. (8.EE.7)
a) Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one
solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which
of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the
given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation
of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are
different numbers.
b) Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients,
including equations whose solutions require expanding
expressions using the distributive property and collecting like
terms
Move students to analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear
equations. (8.EE.8)
a) Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in
two variables correspond to points of intersection of their
graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations
simultaneously.
b) Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables
algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations.
Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and
3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot
simultaneously be 5 and 6.
Collaboratively developed by OSPI and ESD Regional Mathematics Coordinators

c) Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two
linear equations in two variables. For example, given
coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line
through the first pair of points intersects the line through the
second pair.
Functions
2008 WA Grade 8 Learning Standards
Students currently:
Grade 8 CCSS
Students need to:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.
Continue to understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each
input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of
ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.1
(8.F.1)
8.1.C Represent a linear function with a verbal description, table,
graph, or symbolic expression, and make connections among
these representations.
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a
different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by
verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function
represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by
an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater
rate of change. (8.F.2)
8.1.D Determine the slope and y-intercept of a linear function
described by a symbolic expression, table or graph.
Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function,
whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are
not linear. For example, the function A = s² giving the area of a
square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph
8.1.G Determine and justify whether a given verbal description, table,

Page 6
graph, or symbolic expression represents a linear relationship.
contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight
line. (8.F.3)
Students need to:
Use functions to model relationships between quantities.
8.1.E Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the graph of a linear
function representing a contextual situation.
8.1.F Solve single- and multi- step word problems involving linear
functions and verify the solutions.
Continue to construct a function to model a linear relationship
between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial
value of the function from a description of a relationship or from
two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a
graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear
function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph
or a table of values. (8.F.4)
Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two
quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is
increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that
exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been
described verbally. (8.F.5)
_______
ˡFunction notation is not required in Grade 8.
Geometry
2008 WA Grade 8 Learning Standards
Students currently:
8.2.D Represent and explain the effects of one or more translations,
rotations, reflections, or dilations (centered at the origin) of a
geometric figure on the coordinate plane.
Grade 8 CCSS
Students need to:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models,
transparencies, or geometry software.
Continue to verify experimentally the properties of rotations,
reflections, and translations. (8.G.1)
a) Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of
the same length.
b) Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
Collaboratively developed by OSPI and ESD Regional Mathematics Coordinators
Page 7
c) Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if
the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of
rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures,
describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
(8.G.2)
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and
reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates. (8.G.3)
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the
second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations,
reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar twodimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity
between them. (8.G.4)
8.2.B Determine missing angle measures using the relationships
among the angles formed by parallel lines and transversals.
8.2.C Demonstrate that the sum of the angle measures in a triangle
is 180 degrees, and apply this fact to determine the sum of the
angle measures of polygons and to determine unknown angle
measures.
Continue to use informal arguments to establish facts about the
angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created
when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle
criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three
copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles
appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of
transversals why this is so. (8.G.5)
Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
8.2.F Demonstrate the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and
apply them to solve problems.
8.2.G Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the distance
Continue to explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its
converse. (8.G.6)
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side
lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems
in two and three dimensions (8.G.7)
Collaboratively developed by OSPI and ESD Regional Mathematics Coordinators
Page 8
between two points on the coordinate plane.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two
points in a coordinate system. (8.G.8)
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of
cylinders, cones, and spheres.
There is no WA Grade 8 learning standard that matches this CCSS.
Move students to know the formulas for the volumes of cones,
cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and
mathematical problems. (8.G.9)
Statistics and Probability
2008 WA Grade 8 Learning Standards
Students currently:
8.3.C Create a scatterplot for a two-variable data set, and, when
appropriate, sketch and use a trend line to make predictions.
Grade 8 CCSS
Students need to:
Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.
Continue to construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate
measurement data to investigate patterns of association between
two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers,
positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear
association. (8.SP.1)
Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships
between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a
linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess
the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
(8.SP.2)
8.1.E Interpret the slop and y-intercept of the graph of a linear
function representing a contextual situation.
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context
of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and
intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment,
interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of
sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature
Collaboratively developed by OSPI and ESD Regional Mathematics Coordinators
Page 9
plant height. (8.SP.3)
8.3.B Select, construct, and analyze data displays.
Move to understand that patterns of association can also be seen in
bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative
frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way
table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from
the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or
columns to describe possible association between the two variables.
For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or
not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they
have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who
have a curfew also tend to have chores? (8.SP.4)
With full implementation of the CCSS, Grade 8 teachers will no longer be responsible for teaching students the standards listed below. The
grade level where these standards will be emphasized is in parentheses.
8.1.B. Solve one- and two-step linear inequalities and graph the solutions on the number line. (Grade 6 and 7)
8.2.A Identify pairs of angles as complementary, supplementary, adjacent, or vertical, and use these relationships to determine
missing angle measures. (Grade 7)
8.3.A Summarize and compare data sets in terms of variability and measures of center. (Grade 7)
8.3.B Select, construct, and analyze box-and-whisker plots to compare two sets of data. (Algebra 1, Math 1)
