Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students saw how coordinates are an effective tool for locating and describing points on the coordinate grid. In this lesson, they examine how points sharing the same vertical or horizontal coordinate are related. For example, the points , , and all have 1 as their second coordinate. Students see that they all lie on a horizontal line. Students study points that lie on the horizontal or vertical axes and see 0 as a possible value for a coordinate.
- Action and Expression
- MLR8
- Draw and label points in the coordinate plane.
- Generalize (orally and in writing) that when two points have the same first (second) coordinate, they lie on the same vertical (resp. horizontal) line.
- Ubiquemos y nombremos puntos en la cuadrícula de coordenadas.
