A-SSE.2 (Mathematics)


Standard Identifier: A-SSE.2
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: Seeing Structure in Expressions
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Algebra

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x^4 – y^4 as (x^2)^2 – (y^2)^2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^2 – y^2)(x^2 + y^2).
