Unit 7, Lesson 2

Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students use the numbers on the horizontal and vertical axes to describe the location of points in the grid and then learn that these numbers are called the coordinates of points. They learn that the point , for example, is on the vertical line labeled 5 and the horizontal line labeled 2. The number 5 is called the horizontal coordinate of and the number 2 is called its vertical coordinate. Students practice identifying the coordinates of points and plot points with given coordinates. It gives students a reason to attend to the location and coordinates of each point and to use language precisely to describe them (MP6).
- Representation
None
- Compare and contrast (orally) points on a coordinate grid.
- Determine the coordinates of a point in a coordinate grid.
- Ubiquemos puntos en la cuadrícula de coordenadas.
Required Preparation
- Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Teacher Reflection Questions
Who participated in math class today? What assumptions are you making about those who did not participate? How can you leverage each of your student’s ideas to support them in being seen and heard in tomorrow’s math class?
