[Number and Numeration Goal ] Teaching the Lesson Math Message Follow-Up (Math Journal, p. ; Student Reference Book, p. ; Math Masters, p. ) WHOLE-CLASS Use a transparency of Math Masters, page to illustrate the following concepts: A plane is a flat surface that extends forever. A rectangular coordinate grid is used to name points in a plane. The coordinate grid is formed by two number lines called axes. The number lines intersect at right angles at their points. The two number lines are perpendicular. The point where the lines meet (,) is called the origin. Every point on a coordinate grid can be named by an ordered pair of numbers. The first number in the pair is always the horizontal distance of the point from the vertical axis. The second number in the pair is always the vertical distance of the point from the horizontal axis. Date Plotting a Turtle Points on a coordinate grid are named by ordered number pairs. The first number in an ordered number pair locates the point along the horizontal axis. The second number locates the point along the vertical axis. To mark a point on a coordinate grid, first go right or left on the horizontal axis. Then go up or down from there. Plot an outline of the turtle on the graph below. Start with the nose, at point (,). Interactive whiteboard-ready epresentations are available at www.everydaymathonline.com to help you teach the lesson.

Measurement Check Your Understanding Plotting Ordered Number Pairs A rectangular coordinate grid is used to name points in the plane. It is made up of two number lines, called axes, that meet at right angles at their zero points. The point where the two lines meet is called the origin. Every point on a rectangular coordinate grid can be named by an ordered number pair. The two numbers that make up an ordered number pair are called the coordinates of the point. The first coordinate is always the horizontal distance of the point from the vertical axis. The second coordinate is always the vertical distance of the point from the horizontal axis. For example, the ordered pair (,) names point A on the grid at the right. The numbers and are the coordinates of point A. Example Plot the ordered pair (,). Step : Locate on the horizontal axis. Draw a vertical line. Step : Locate on the vertical axis. Draw a horizontal line. Step : The point (,) is located at the intersection of the two lines. The order of the numbers in an ordered pair is important. The pair (,) does not name the same point as the pair (,). Example Locate (,), (, ), and (,). For each ordered pair: Locate the first coordinate on the horizontal axis and draw a vertical line. Locate the second coordinate on the vertical axis and draw a horizontal line. The two lines intersect at the point named by the ordered pair. Draw a coordinate grid on graph paper and plot the following points.. (,). (, ). (,). (,) Check your answers on page. Student Reference Book, p. A (,) (,) The ordered pair (,) names the origin. A (,) (,) (,) The numbers in an ordered pair are the coordinates of the corresponding point. To plot the coordinates of a point, first move left or right along the horizontal axis, and then move up or down along the vertical axis. One or both coordinates may be a whole number, fraction, decimal, or mixed number. When one of the coordinates is, the point lies directly on an axis. Ask volunteers to use the transparency to demonstrate and explain how to plot the Math Message points. Encourage students to make use of the Key Vocabulary terms in their explanations. Write (,) and (,) on the board. Ask: Do these coordinates name the same point? No Why? The position of the numbers in an ordered pair determines the axis to be used for each of the coordinates. Unless the numbers are in the same positions in both ordered pairs, they will name different points. Ask students to suggest ways to remember which axis the coordinates refer to in an ordered number pair. Write their suggestions on the Class Data Pad. For example: Alphabetically, horizontal comes before vertical. Think about painting the side of a house. You must move the ladder to where you want to paint before climbing up. Think about an elevator building. You go across the ground floor first and find the elevator to take you up to where you want to go. Think of the proverb: You must crawl before you can walk. Crawling is horizontal. Walking is vertical. Date Hidden Treasure Gameboards Each player uses Grids and. Grid : Hide your point here. Grid Use this set of grids to play another game.

Graphing a Picture (Math Journal, p. ; Math Masters, p. ) WHOLE-CLASS Tell students that they are going to graph a representation of the turtle shown at the top of journal page as a class. Use the transparency of Math Masters, page to model plotting and connecting points. Begin the picture by having students mark and label the point at (,), which is the tip of the turtle s nose. Ask volunteers to suggest whole-number coordinates for the next point on the turtle graph. Have students mark that point on their own graphs and then use a straightedge to connect it to the previous point. Continue until an outline of the turtle has been drawn on the graph. Remind students that it is not important that their graphs exactly match the picture. Rather, they should choose points that will be a close representation of the picture. Ask students to label the coordinates of points on their graphs. Grid Grid Math Journal, p. Unit Coordinates, Area, Volume, and Capacity
Playing the Hidden Treasure Game (Math Journal, p. ; Student Reference Book, p. ; Math Masters, p. ) PARTNER Ask students whether they have ever played Hot and Cold. It is a game where Player A leaves the room while the others hide some object. Then Player A returns and has to locate the object. The others provide clues by saying whether Player A is hot or cold. The farther away from the object, the colder Player A becomes. The closer to the object, the warmer Player A becomes. The game continues until Player A locates the object. Tell students that Hidden Treasure is a game that is similar to Hot and Cold. Go over the rules on page of the Student Reference Book. Be sure students understand the directions. Use a transparency of the gameboard (Math Masters, p. ) to play a sample round showing students how to complete the grids and how to answer a player s guesses. Have partners play two or more games. Players write in their own journals, using one of the two gameboards on journal page. Note that a gameboard consists of two grids. Hidden Treasure Player marks a hidden point at (,).

When students have finished, ask them to connect the points they plotted in Problem. Ask: What shape was formed? A square Discuss why the points did not form a circle. With a circle drawn on a grid, some of the points would be on a diagonal from the center. Because diagonals are not allowed, the shape couldn t be a circle. Explain that this shape is a taxicab circle because all of the points are equidistant from the center point. Taxicab geometry was developed by Russian mathematician, Hermann Minkowski. Consider assigning students to explore the interactive taxicab geometry activity on the Annenberg Foundation Web site at http://www.learner.org/teacherslab/math/geometry/shape/taxicab/.

Sample answers:. Choose where the class should go and connect the points. Skateboard Park. Think of the grid lines as streets. The class must take the bus, and the bus can travel along the grid lines only. Which location is closer to the museum now? aquarium aquarium museum planetarium Is it the same as your first choice? Answers vary. Why or why not? Answers vary. Scale:. cm represents block At the museum, the class learned about plans for the new Skateboard Park. Everyone thought that it should be located an equal distance from the aquarium, museum, and planetarium by bus.. Draw and label a point on the grid that shows where the new Skateboard Park should be located. Maggie said the city should have built Skateboard Park first. You could just draw a circle using Skateboard Park as the center. Then there would be many locations that were the same distance away. Sample answer:.
