Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

| Code |
Description |
| MAFS.912.A-APR.4.6: | Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x)
in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are
polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using
inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a
computer algebra system.
|
| MAFS.912.A-APR.4.7: | Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous
to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add,
subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions. |
