School Improvement in Maryland
Geometry and Measurement: Grades 6 - 8

Students will apply the properties on one-, two-, and three-dimensional geometric figures to describe, reason, and solve problems about shape, size, position and motion of objects while identifying and applying attributes, units, and systems of measurements.
