The standards from the three different organizations are fairly similar with a few being more specific and others being more general. For instance the Common Core Standards ask a student to be able to draw a geometric shape and the NCTM standards call on a student to be able to analyze characteristics of shapes. The three standards together, in my opinion, cover almost every aspect of geometry and bring it down to a middle school level. Connected Math goes further to requiring specific vocabulary that students would know. My favorite standard is from the CC standards, 7.G.6. involves solving real-world problems involving two and three dimensional objects. This goes to the very heart of why we teach math, so that our students can solve real-world problems.
