Students may fail to recognize the origin point (0,0) and its significance.

Students may discover complications between identifying the different quadrants.

Students may become confused about the order that follows when graphing points (x, y) (e.g. may think that (y, x) serves the same purpose).

Students may misuse the graph by overlooking the value differences on both the horizontal and vertical sides. (e.g. the horizonal side may have 1, 2, 3,... but the vertical side displays 2, 4, 6,...)

Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.

# data[].attributes.body
By using a coordinate plane and graphing points in all four quadrants, students will be able to solve real-world mathematical problems. Students will also be able to determine the distance between the points and explain the positive/negative relationship.

Incorporating Desmos into this lesson can help students gain a clear visualization of what coordinate planes should look like. This technology provides us with a "plug and play" method, where students type their numbers into each box and Desmos displays the graphing results.

Hi Kaitlyn and Sydnee,

You're off to a great start here! I can see how Desmos would support knowledge and skills in coordinate planes so good thinking on this. Somethings to keep in mind are:

a. Your next steps will be researching your technology and building your knowledge of it so that you can present about it for the project.

c. Then you'll want to get the lesson plan template downloaded so you can begin working on getting it completed.

Hope this helps,

Dr. M

Language to consider when discussing coordinate planes:

Coordinate Plane - A large grid with two intersecting number lines; graph where points are plotted.

Origin - The starting point (0,0).

X-Axis - Horizontal number line that shows distance.

Y-Axis - Vertical number line that shows distance.

X-Coordinate - The first number in an ordered pair. (X, y)

Y-Coordinate - The second number in an ordered pair. (x,Y)

Quadrants - The four sections of a coordinate plane; where the points are places. (I, II, III, IV)

For our assessment, we will identify if the students have correctly placed their buildings according to the coordinate plane. For example, we will see if the students house sits above the coordinate (0,4). If the students have correctly placed their buildings, built their town, and correctly labeled their coordinates on their recording sheet, then we will know they understand the objective concept. If the student did not correctly do these items, we will break into small groups and work with each student.

Group A: Students will use Desmos to create a tiny town using only the 4 required points. (House, Library, Grocery Store, & Gas Station)

Group B: Students will use Desmos to create a tiny town using the 4 required points and at least 3 of the student choice options.

Group C: Students will use Desmos to create a tiny town using the 4 required points and 3 of the student choice options. After completion, they can print their Desmos coordinate plane out and draw/color the tiny town they created.

This lesson is individualized because the students are able to choose what additional buildings they want to add to their coordinate plane.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, our students will be building a small town on their coordinate plane in Desmos. The students will be given certain coordinates where specific buildings must be (example: the house must be 4 "miles" east of the origin, etc.) The students will also have a few options to choose what they add to their town. The students will also mark their coordinates on a recording sheet.

Hi ladies

Things are looking good here. Have you started your presentation yet? If not, you'll want to get moving on putting that together.

As far as the lesson plan goes, don't worry too much about the date, time, etc.

The bulk of your lesson plan should be in the sequence section as this will have all the steps of the lesson. You've added great info here on learning supports such as vocab, readiness considerations/adaptations.

Next you'll need info on how your project supports TPACK and is a worthwhile task.

You'll want to get moving putting together the presentation soon. Let me know if you have any questions.
