[graceful hound]

You can do a more simple problem

[worn cloak]

Hit me

[graceful hound]

By the way, what does year 8 math have?

You can try to build the idea of a limit, derivative, or integral if you want

From newton / Leibniz

[worn cloak]

Bit of and VERY limited trigaonmetry, 2d and 3d shapes, nth term and time

[graceful hound]

You can do how eular found that the sum from 1 to infinity of 1/n^2 is pi^2/6

[worn cloak]

Search it up
one of the famous geometers like pythagoras and euclid

Sure, you can do some of those pi things

[worn cloak]

[fiery dust]

well, in 8th grade, you should not focus on that
its pretty advanced topic. You will learn it later

[worn cloak]

year 8 is like 7th grade
