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

Unpacked Content

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).
