Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Linear, exponential, and quadratic]

Standard:
Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.

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.*

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.* Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example, the expression 1.15^t can be rewritten as (1.15^1/12)^12t ≈ 1.012^12t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%.*

Cluster:
Experiment with transformations in the plane.

Standard:
Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

Cluster:
Make geometric constructions. [Formalize and explain processes.]

Standard:
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

Cluster:
Make geometric constructions. [Formalize and explain processes.]

Standard:
Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

Cluster:
Experiment with transformations in the plane.

Standard:
Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

Cluster:
Experiment with transformations in the plane.

Standard:
Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.

Cluster:
Experiment with transformations in the plane.

Standard:
Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
