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

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. [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:
Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. [Include distance formula; relate to Pythagorean Theorem.]

Standard:
Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For example, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2).

Cluster:
Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. [Include distance formula; relate to Pythagorean Theorem.]

Standard:
Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems (e.g., find the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point).

Cluster:
Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. [Include distance formula; relate to Pythagorean Theorem.]

Standard:
Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula. *

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.*
