The Coordinate Plane
The Coordinate Plane
Notebook:
How do we determine how to label where a point lies on the coordinate system?
We use coordinates inside of an ordered pair.
We use coordinates inside of an ordered pair.
You'll be graphing a lot of ordered pairs in your math career,
so I would suggest getting in the habit
of imagining the x-axis as a long row of elevators
that extends as far as the eye can see.
Let's graph the point (1,4).
Start at the origin...
Find the elevator on the x-axis...
Take the elevator to find your y-coordinate!

Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.6.c
Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.8
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.
