Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to...
- Plot and locate points on a coordinate plane.
Essential Questions
- How are rational numbers different from irrational numbers?
- Why is it important to know how to perform operations on rational numbers and irrational numbers?
- How can we use one or more of the four basic math operations to solve real-world and mathematical problems?
- Why is simplifying expressions important in mathematics?
- How can ordered pairs be used graphically?
- How is the coordinate system used in real-life?
Enduring Understandings
- Operations create relationships between numbers.
- Real-world math problems are solved by using one or more of the four basic mathematical operations.
- Rewriting an expression in different forms can reveal the meaning of a problem for easy and simple understanding.
- Reversing the order of the numbers in an ordered pair affects the location of the point on the coordinate plane.
The above objectives correspond with the Alabama Course of Study: Grade 6 standards: 11 and 11a.
