Cluster:
Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems. [Foundation for work with expressions, equations, and functions]

Standard:
Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. *

Cluster:
Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems. [Foundation for work with expressions, equations, and functions]

Standard:
Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. *

Standard:
Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities. *

Cluster:
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor: A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.

Cluster:
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor: The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.

Cluster:
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations.

Standard:
Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.

Cluster:
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations.

Standard:
Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the Angle-Angle (AA) criterion for two triangles to be similar.

Cluster:
Prove theorems involving similarity. [Focus on validity of underlying reasoning while using variety of formats.]

Standard:
Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include: a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionally and conversely; the Pythagorean Theorem proved using triangle similarity.

Cluster:
Prove theorems involving similarity. [Focus on validity of underlying reasoning while using variety of formats.]

Standard:
Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.

Cluster:
Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles.

Standard:
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.
