Locate points on a coordinate plane.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify the x- and y-axes.
  • Identify the origin (i.e., point of intersection of perpendicular lines).
  • Locate a given point on a coordinate plane (e.g., show me point A).
  • Use tools (e.g., use craft sticks to extend the point to the axis) to identify an ordered pair as an x-coordinate followed by a y-coordinate.
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: origin, axis, grid, point, x-axis, y-axis, point of intersection.
  • Identify an ordered pair as an x-coordinate followed by a y-coordinate.

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems. (Additional 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.

Name Description
MAFS.5.G.1.1: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number 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, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
