Unit 7

Shapes on the Coordinate Grid

Unit Goals

Unit Narrative

In this unit, students learn about the coordinate grid, deepen their knowledge of two-dimensional shapes, and use the coordinate grid to study relationships of pairs of numbers in various situations.

Students learn about grids that are numbered in two directions. They see that the structure of a coordinate grid allows us to precisely communicate the location of points and shapes.

Students also continue to study two-dimensional shapes and their attributes. In IM Grade 3, they classified triangles and quadrilaterals by the presence of right angles and sides of equal length....

Section Narrative

This section introduces students to the coordinate grid.

Students begin by drawing rectangles based only on verbal descriptions. They first do so without a grid, then on an unmarked grid, and finally on a coordinate grid. Along the way, they recognize that numbered grid lines allow them to locate points and communicate the features of shapes precisely.

Students then learn...

Let’s explore the coordinate grid.

Let’s plot points on the coordinate grid.

Let’s locate and name points on the coordinate grid.

Section B

Section Goals

Section Narrative

In this section, students classify quadrilaterals and triangles into different categories and study the relationships between the categories.

They begin by sorting a large set of quadrilaterals in a way that makes sense to them, using attributes such as angle measures (especially right angles) and pairs of parallel sides. Then they focus on relating the attributes of trapezoids, rectangles, parallelograms,...

Section C

Section Goals

Section Narrative

In this section, students apply the concepts of this unit as they analyze numerical relationships between two quantities in different contexts.

Students begin by examining patterns in numbers generated by following a pair of rules. They record the patterns in a table and interpret the relationships between the pairs of numbers. Students learn that they can form ordered pairs using...
