Cluster:
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.

Standard:
Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Cluster:
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.

Standard:
Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

Cluster:
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.

Standard:
Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids.

Cluster:
Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Standard:
Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.

Cluster:
Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Standard:
Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

Cluster:
Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Standard:
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

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.

Cluster:
Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

Standard:
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
