Questions about 8th Grade posters
- What do 8th Grade posters cover?
- Linear functions and exponent laws — the two things Algebra 1 assumes you already own. The 50-poster set covers Exponent laws, Linear functions, Pythagoras, Periodic families and Thesis writing, split across literacy (9), math (24), science (14), social studies (2) and life skills (1).
- What age is 8th Grade?
- 8th Grade is normally ages 13–14. The posters are chosen for what that year actually asks a child to remember rather than for a birthday, so a child working a year ahead or a year behind should take the set that matches the work, not the age.
- What is 8th Grade called in other countries?
- 8th Grade is Year 9 in England & Wales, Year 8 in Australia, Class 8 in India and MYP 3 in the IB. Whichever name your school uses, this page is the same set of 50 printable wall charts for ages 13–14.
- Which 8th Grade poster should I print first?
- The Product Rule, The Quotient Rule and The Power of a Power Rule are the ones that get used daily at this stage. Start with those, then fill in the rest of the 8th grade wall as the year goes on.The Product RuleThe Quotient RuleThe Power of a Power Rule
- Are the 8th Grade posters free to print?
- Yes — all 50 8th Grade posters are free vector PDFs. No account, no watermark, and no limit on how many copies you print for a home, a classroom or a tutoring group. They print on US Letter or A4 and enlarge to A1 without going soft.Read the licence
