Year 8 Maths

Year 8 pushes further into algebra — linear equations, substitution, and the number properties that hold it all together — while introducing Pythagoras' theorem and geometric transformations for the first time.

How Maths Made Friendly approaches Year 8 Maths

Linear equations and Pythagoras' theorem are two of the units students most often ask for help with, so both get extra worked examples and interactive tools that let students see the maths rather than just read about it. Progress through each unit is tracked automatically, so it's clear what's been covered and what's next.

Who this is for

A strong fit for students consolidating algebra fundamentals, and for anyone meeting Pythagoras' theorem or shape transformations for the first time.
