Cluster:
Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.

Standard:
Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.

Cluster:
Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.

Standard:
Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g.,π^2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.

Cluster:
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Standard:
Create equations and inequalities in one variable including ones with absolute value and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions. CA *

Cluster:
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Standard:
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. *

Cluster:
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Standard:
Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. * [Include formulas involving quadratic terms.]

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. * Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients. *

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. * Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1 + r)^n as the product of P and a factor not depending on P. *

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x^4 – y^4 as (x^2)^2 – (y^2)^2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^2 – y^2)(x^2 + y^2).

Cluster:
Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.* Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.*

Cluster:
Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.* Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines.*
