Access Point #: MAFS.6.G.1.AP.3aArchived Access Point

Draw polygons on a coordinate plane given the coordinates of the vertices.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify the x- and y-axis.
  • Identify the origin (i.e., point of intersection).
  • 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.
  • Recognize that polygons can be formed by connected, selected points in a coordinate plane.
  • Decontextualize situation to identify coordinate points.
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: coordinates, ordered pair, origin, axis, grid, point.

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. (Supporting 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.
