Ohio's Academic Content Standards in Mathematics

Geometry and Spatial Sense Standard
Students identify, classify, compare and analyze characteristics, properties and relationships of one-, two- and three-dimensional geometric figures and objects. Students use spatial reasoning, properties of geometric objects, and transformations to analyze mathematical situations and solve problems.
