Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume. Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real-world problems.

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:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Standard:
Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

Footnote:
Function notation is not required in grade 8.

Cluster:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Standard:
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
