Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
Student Language:
"I can graph and interpret points in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane."
About the Math, Learning Targets, and Rigor
This standard deals with only the first quadrant (positive numbers in the coordinate plane).
This standard references real-world and mathematical problems, including the traveling from one point to another and identifying the coordinates of missing points in geometric figures, such as squares, rectangles, and parallelograms.
Present real-world and mathematical problems and have students graph points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. Students also need to analyze the graph by interpreting the coordinate values in the context of the situation.
Example
Part A: Using the coordinate grid, write the ordered pair that represents the location of the school.
Part B: Explain two different paths from the school to the library.
