Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Identify parts of a line graph.
- Identify the two coordinates of a point on a line graph.
- Count the distance up/down between two points on the coordinate plane (rise).
- Count the distance to the right, between two points on the coordinate plane (run).
- Use a template (rise/run) to determine the slope.
- Recognize a relationship between two points on a graph.
- Examine the values of the x variable or y variable to look for a pattern.
- Understand the following concepts, vocabulary, and symbols: coordinates, ordered pairs (x, y), intercept, grid, axis, point, proportion, line, slope.
- Graph a series of coordinates on a graph.
- Identify given coordinates (x, y) as a point on a graph.
- Use subtraction to determine the change in y and the change in x (

Cluster:
Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. (Major Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
