6.7A Locate and name points on a coordinate
plane using ordered pairs of non-negative
rational numbers.
We will locate points and record
ordered pairs as we walk around the
coordinate plane.

paper
Lesson Name: Floor-dinate Plane
Action:
What is the teacher
doing?
Phase 1: Engage:
Students complete an UPS check warmup problem
Phase 2: Explore:
Students will pick a partner and discuss their plan for locating ordered pairs throughout the room.
Phase 3: Explain:
The teacher will explain where the x-axis and y-axis are within the room
Phase 4: Elaborate:
Students will walk throughout the room in a way that will allow them to record all of the points.
Phase 5: Evaluate:
