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

Standard:
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

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. [Linear and exponential of form f(x) = b^x + k]

Standard:
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. *

Standard:

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:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Standard:
Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

Footnote:
Function notation is not required in grade 8.

Cluster:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Standard:
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

Cluster:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Standard:
Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s^2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
