Class 8 Maths deepens skills in numbers, real numbers, and decimals.
Students apply concepts in profit & loss, percentage change, ratios, and rates. Algebra grows with expansion, factorisation, simplification, and solving equations.Geometry covers quadrilaterals, congruence, circles, and measurement of shapes. Statistics and probability focus on data representation, outliers, and Venn diagrams.
