MA19.6.25
Graph polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates of the vertices to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

Terminology associated with coordinate systems.
Correct construction of coordinate systems.

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 and mathematical situations.
Determine lengths of line segments on a coordinate plane when the line segment joins points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.

Understanding

Students understand that:

A variety of representations such as diagrams, number lines, charts, and graphs 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).
