Cluster:
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.

Standard:
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Linear expressions and exponential expressions with integer exponents]

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. *

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:
Work with radicals and integer exponents.

Standard:
Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3^2 × 3^-5 = 3^-3 = 1/3^3 = 1/27.
