Cluster:
Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.* Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example, the expression 1.15^t can be rewritten as (1.15^1/12)^12t ≈ 1.012^12t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%.*

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.

Cluster:
Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

Standard:
Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.

Cluster:
Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

Standard:
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
