Syllabus: Maths Class 8 PDF Download

In 8th-grade Math, we build on what we've learned before, like working with numbers, algebra, and shapes. Now, things get a bit more interesting. We'll tackle new ideas like figuring out unknowns in equations, dealing with squares and cubes, understanding profit and loss, percentages, and more. It's like taking the basics we know and adding some cool, challenging twists to make math more exciting!
