Geometry
:
Coordinates
Use coordinates to find a location on a grid.
Supporting targets:
1:
Locate points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
2:
Recognize which quadrant a point is in, based on the properties of its coordinate pairs.
3:
Understand that the first number in a coordinate pair indicates placement on the x-axis and the second indicates placement on the y-axis.

Grade:
5th
Vocabulary:
Coordinate Plane, X-axis, Y-axis, Quadrants, Coordinate Pair
Activities:
- Students reviewed how to read a coordinate pair and practiced graphing the coordinates
- Students created a map of a zoo using all four quadrants in the grid. They decided where each attraction would be and how big it would be by graphing the coordinate points on the grid.

Measurment
Techniques and Formulas
Solve problems involving area.
:
Supporting targets:
1:
Recognize that area is measured in squared units (i.e., cm2), depicting that the measurement has both height and width.
2:
Find the area of composite figures.
3:
Decompose a composite figure into simple rectangles to compute area.
4:
Use the formula for finding the area of rectangular shapes (A = base x height).
5:
Grade:
3rd
Vocabulary:
Area, 2D shape, irregular shape
Activities:
- Students learned area is the measurement of the inside of a 2D shape and practiced finding the area of squares or rectangles using the formula L x H.
- Students practiced finding the area of irregular shapes by sectioning the shape into rectangles to find the area of that section and then adding it all together to find the area of the irregular shape.
Home Exploration
Find the area of the shape:
- Can you find sections of rectangles in this shape?
- What is the area of the sectioned rectangles?
