G.MG.1: Utilizing Geometric Shapes for Object Descriptions and Modeling

Grade: Geometry

Domain: MG: Modeling with Geometry

Standard Description

Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).

Domain Description

Utilize geometric forms and their attributes for object description, such as using a cylinder to represent a tree trunk or a human body. Apply density principles in various scenarios, like people per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot. Use geometric techniques to tackle design obstacles, for example, creating an item or a structure that meets physical restrictions or reduces expenditure, or using typographic grid systems that rely on ratios.
