Set out your lesson
“If you tell your child a car journey passes through grid points (2, 3), (5, 7), and (8, 4) on a map, can they plot those points and describe what the journey looks like?”
Full guide and materials
- Activity. Plot and read ordered pairs in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points and interpreting coordinate values in context
What to notice. Plot the point (4, 7) accurately on a first-quadrant grid • Graph a set of data pairs (e.g. time vs distance) as points on the coordinate plane • Read coordinates of a plotted point and explain what they represent in a given scenario
