NCTM Standards in Action Content Standard: Geometry
Klaus Puhlmann
The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000) identifies IO content standards that represent what should be valued in school mathematics education. The standards represent a connected body of mathematical understandings and competencies, and they specify the understanding, knowledge and skills that students should acquire from pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. Geometry, like the other content standards, applies to all grade levels, albeit with varying emphasis both within and between grade levels.
