Canadian Math Grades 8–10 (CM2)
The Canadian Mathematics Database for grades 8 was authored by Ted Keating and Al Sarna as a follow-up to their database for the upper grades. Like the original CM1 database, CM2 is modeled on the Western Canada Protocol and contains over 5800 mostly multiple-choice problems.
The CM2 module puts great emphasis on modern math topics such as number concepts, patterns and relations, and functions and graphing. There is also extensive coverage of beginning to intermediate topics in algebra and geometry, such as exponents and radicals, linear and quadratic equations, systems, coordinate geometry, congruence and similarity, and right triangle trigonometry.
Although CM2 is designed for an integrated curriculum, it is organized topically. This means the database can be aligned with just about any textbook, and the problems are useful for testing in most junior/senior high math classes in Canada or the U.S. Teachers will appreciate having a large base of problems that are often under represented in textbooks: area and volume of composite shapes; transformations and dilations; counting principles, analytic and synthetic geometry, and applied problems.
We have also recently completed specific correlations between the CM2 database and the actual Western Canada Common Curriculum Framework. You can view the correlations here as a PDF file.
