Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. [Polynomials that simplify to quadratics]

Standard:
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

Cluster:
Explain volume formulas and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. Use dissection arguments, Cavalieri’s principle, and informal limit arguments.

Cluster:
Explain volume formulas and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems. *

Cluster:
Visualize relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.

Standard:
Know that the effect of a scale factor k greater than zero on length, area, and volume is to multiply each by k, k^2, and k^3, respectively; determine length, area and volume measures using scale factors. CA

Cluster:
Visualize relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.

Standard:
Verify experimentally that in a triangle, angles opposite longer sides are larger, sides opposite larger angles are longer, and the sum of any two side lengths is greater than the remaining side length; apply these relationships to solve realworld and mathematical problems. CA

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.
