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:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems. [Include quadratic.]

Standard:
Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function. *

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Apply quadratic functions to physical problems, such as the motion of an object under the force of gravity. CA *

Cluster:
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor: A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.
