Cluster:
Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. [Quadratics with real coefficients]

Standard:
Solve quadratic equations in one variable. Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x – p)^2 = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.

Cluster:
Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. [Quadratics with real coefficients]

Standard:
Solve quadratic equations in one variable. Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x^2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.

Cluster:
Solve systems of equations. [Linear-quadratic systems]

Standard:
Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. For example, find the points of intersection between the line y = –3x and the circle x^2 + y^2 = 3.

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

Standard:
Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots). *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

Standard:
Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets. *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

Standard:
Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers). *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

Standard:
Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve. *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

Standard:
Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data. *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

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. *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

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. *
