Graph or identify points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane, given a coordinate plane on graph paper.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Recognize the coordinates of labeled points on a coordinate plane.
  • Complete concrete graphing of points (e.g., Put the straw up on 3 on the x-axis, put the next straw across on 2 on the y-axis. Put a chip there [for 3,2]).
  • Identify that in an ordered pair, the first coordinate is the location on the x-axis and the second is the location on the y-axis.
Representation:
  • Use coordinates to graph points on a coordinate plane.
  • Use coordinates to identify points that have been plotted on a coordinate plane.

Number: MAFS.6.NS.3.AP.8a
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.
