Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables. [Linear focus; discuss general principle.]

Standard:
Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. * Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear, quadratic, and exponential models. *

Standard:
Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. * Informally assess the fit of a function by plotting and analyzing residuals. *

Standard:
Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. * Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association. *

Cluster:
Interpret linear models.

Standard:
Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data. *

Cluster:
Interpret linear models.

Standard:
Compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit. *

Cluster:
Interpret linear models.

Standard:
Distinguish between correlation and causation. *

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. [Polynomials that simplify to quadratics]

Standard:
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Quadratic]

Standard:
For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. *

Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Quadratic]

Standard:
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. *

Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Quadratic]

Standard:
Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph. *
