STAGE 1 – UBD UNIT PLAN
Unit Title: Geometry
Grade 5
Standard 5.3
Given previous mathematical concepts, students will be able
to apply their knowledge and understanding of the concepts of
coordinate planes system on grids.
Enduring Understandings:
Graphing points on a coordinate plane provides a
representation of a mathematical context, which aids in
visualizing situations and solving problems.
Essential Questions:
How can plotting points on a coordinate plane help us
determine specific locations in real life?
Students will know (Knowledge):
Coordinate system vocabulary: axes, x-axis, y-axis, origin,
ordered pair, coordinates, x-coordinate, y-coordinate.
Techniques for constructing a coordinate grid and plotting
points on that grid.
Students will be able to (Skills):
Construct a coordinate system.
Explain how to identify the coordinates of a point on a
coordinate system.
Graph points corresponding to ordered pairs.
Represent real world and mathematical problems on a
coordinate plane.
STAGE 2 – ASSESSMENT: ACCEPTABLE EVIDENCE
Performance Tasks–Other Evidence
Quiz on coordinate planes – placing and finding ordered
Pairs a coordinate system.
Students will find a secret image by following the coordinate
pairs on a given task.
Students will write the coordinate pairs of a letter designed by
them.
