Descriptor-derived subskills

D01
Compare properties of two-dimensional shapesLocally derived from VC2M4SP01-C02 because the supplied practice rows identify or count individual figures but do not elicit comparison.
D02
Compare properties of three-dimensional objectsLocally derived from VC2M4SP01-C04 because the supplied practice rows identify or count individual objects but do not elicit comparison.
D03
Compare two-dimensional and three-dimensional propertiesLocally derived directly from VC2M4SP01-C05 to compare relevant properties across dimensions without asserting an external reference code.
