HSG.MG.A.1: Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).
What you'll learn
- Identify appropriate geometric shapes to model real-world objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk as a cylinder)
- Use properties of geometric shapes (length, width, height, radius, angle measures) to describe and analyze real objects
- Explain the trade-offs between simple models (easier to work with) and complex models (more accurate)
- Apply geometric modeling to estimate measurements of real objects (volume, surface area, etc.)
- Recognize that geometric models are approximations and understand when approximations are appropriate
- Communicate modeling choices clearly, justifying why a particular shape was chosen to represent an object
