Overview

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to plot points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. A handout that reviews the steps taught during the activity can be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 5

MA19.5.20
Graph points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points to represent real-world and mathematical problems.

Vocabulary

Coordinate system
Coordinate plane
First quadrant
Points
Lines
Perpendicular
X-axis
Y-axis
Origin
Ordered pair
Coordinate plane
Horizontal
Vertical
Intersection of lines

Knowledge

Students know:

Specific directions and vocabulary to explain ordered pair location.
The first number of an ordered pair indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis.

Skills

Students are able to:

Graph points in the first quadrant.
Interpret coordinate values in context of the problem.

Understanding

Students understand that:

graphing points on a coordinate plane provides a representation of a mathematical context which aids in visualizing situations and solving problems.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 6

MA19.6.11
Find the position of pairs of integers and other rational numbers on the coordinate plane.

Vocabulary

Coordinate plane
Quadrants
Coordinate values
ordered pairs
x axis
y axis
Reflection

Knowledge

Students know:

Strategies for creating coordinate graphs.
Strategies for finding vertical and horizontal distance on coordinate graphs.

Skills

Students are able to:

Graph points corresponding to ordered pairs,
Represent real-world and mathematical problems on a coordinate plane.
Interpret coordinate values of points in the context of real-world/mathematical situations.
Determine lengths of line segments on a coordinate plane when the line segment joins points with the same first coordinate (vertical distance) or the same second coordinate (horizontal distance).

Understanding

Students understand that:

A graph can be used to illustrate mathematical situations and relationships. These representations help in conceptualizing ideas and in solving problems,
Distances on lines parallel to the axes on a coordinate plane are the same as the related distance on the axis (number line).
