Contents
- 1
Indices, Roots and Standard Form
Indices, Roots and Standard Formin reviewThe laws that let you handle enormous and tiny numbers in one line, and the notation astronomers and chemists use for the same reason.
4 sections·~11 min·จำนวนและพีชคณิต (Number and Algebra)·CC 8.EE
- 2
Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
Fractions, Decimals and Percentagesin reviewMixed numbers in all four operations, percentage change in both directions, and the reverse question that catches almost everyone: finding the original amount.
3 sections·~9 min·จำนวนและพีชคณิต (Number and Algebra)·CC 7.NS, 7.RP
- 3
Ratio, Proportion and Rates
Ratio, Proportion and Ratesin reviewSharing in a ratio, telling direct from inverse proportion, and the compound measures — speed and density — that are just rates with names.
3 sections·~8 min·จำนวนและพีชคณิต (Number and Algebra)·CC 7.RP, 6.RP
- 4
Expressions and Formulae
Expressions and Formulaein reviewExpanding double brackets, factorising them back, and rearranging a formula so it answers the question you actually have.
3 sections·~11 min·จำนวนและพีชคณิต (Number and Algebra)·CC A-SSE, A-APR, 7.EE
- 5
Equations and Inequalities
Equations and Inequalitiesin reviewEquations with brackets, fractions and unknowns on both sides — then inequalities, which behave identically except for the one rule that reverses everything.
3 sections·~10 min·จำนวนและพีชคณิต (Number and Algebra)·CC 7.EE, A-REI
- 6
Sequences and Linear Graphs
Sequences and Linear Graphsin reviewThe $n$th term of a sequence, and the equation $y = mx + c$ that turns a rule into a line you can read gradient and intercept straight off.
3 sections·~10 min·จำนวนและพีชคณิต (Number and Algebra)·CC 8.F, 8.EE
- 7
Angles, Parallel Lines and Polygons
Angles, Parallel Lines and Polygonsin reviewThe angle facts that come with a pair of parallel lines, the interior and exterior angles of any polygon, and how to write a reason rather than just an answer.
3 sections·~11 min·การวัดและเรขาคณิต (Geometry and Measure)·CC 8.G, G-CO
- 8
Pythagoras' Theorem
Pythagoras' Theoremin reviewThe relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle — how to find a missing side, and how to use it backwards to prove an angle is a right angle.
3 sections·~10 min·การวัดและเรขาคณิต (Geometry and Measure)·CC 8.G
- 9
Area, Circles and Volume
Area, Circles and Volumein reviewThe trapezium, the circle, and the prisms built from them — with the one rule that makes every volume question at this stage the same question.
3 sections·~11 min·การวัดและเรขาคณิต (Geometry and Measure)·CC 7.G, 8.G
- 10
Transformations and Congruence
Transformations and Congruencein reviewMoving a shape without changing it — reflection, rotation and translation — and enlargement, which changes exactly one thing.
3 sections·~11 min·การวัดและเรขาคณิต (Geometry and Measure)·CC 8.G, G-CO

Statistics and Probability
Statistics and Probabilityin reviewAverages from a frequency table, comparing two sets of data honestly, and the difference between the probability you calculate and the one you observe.
3 sections·~12 min·สถิติและความน่าจะเป็น (Statistics and Probability)·CC 7.SP, 8.SP
Which curricula this maps to
Chapter order follows the Cambridge syllabus this book is written for. Each chapter also states its US Common Core domains and the matching สสวท. strand, so a student moving between an international programme and the Thai system can see where the same ground sits in the other curriculum.
Note: we name strands and domains, never individual indicator codes. Mapping to a single indicator requires interpretation, and we would rather not claim precision we cannot defend.
