The Number System (8.NS)

Know that there are numbers that are not rational; approximate them by rational numbers.

UK National Curriculum≡ EQUIVALENT
Number (Y8)
Both introduce rational vs. irrational distinction; UK adds standard form.
Australia ACARA≈ OVERLAPS
Number — Year 8
AU emphasises operations with integers/rationals; irrationals introduced more lightly than 8.NS.

Expressions and Equations (8.EE)

Work with radicals and integer exponents; understand connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations; analyse and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous equations.

UK National Curriculum≡ EQUIVALENT
Algebra (Y8)
Ratio, proportion and rates of change (Y8)
UK splits proportion into its own strand; 8.EE links proportion to linear equations.

Statistics and Probability (8.SP)

Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data using scatter plots and two-way tables.

UK National Curriculum≡ EQUIVALENT
Statistics (Y8)
Both introduce bivariate data and scatter-plot patterns.
Probability (Y8)
8.SP is bivariate-focused; UK Y8 probability covers theoretical probability + tree diagrams (in 8.SP only via two-way tables).
