Given two points plotted on a coordinate plane, find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Circle two numbers on a number line and move finger when counting to find the distance between the two numbers.
Representation:
  • Write a subtraction sentence to find the difference between two points on a number line.

Number: MAFS.6.NS.3.AP.8b Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 07/14 Cluster: Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers. (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.
