Learning Goals by Common Core State Standard
Topic
Coordinate
Relationships
Topic 2
Students will be able to...



Find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
Recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations are reflections
across one or both axes.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the
coordinate plane.
Instructional videos in the hyperlinks above are meant to support C2.0 content,
but may use vocabulary or strategies not emphasized by MCPS.
The Common Core State Standards require a balance of three fundamental
components that result in rigorous mathematics acquisition: deep conceptual
understanding, procedural skill, and mathematical applications and modeling.
RIGOR
Deep
Conceptual
Understanding
Coordinate Relationships
Applications
and Modeling
Procedural
Skill
Students will make
connections
between previous
understandings
about representing
points on a line to
negative number
coordinates on a
plane.
Students will build
accuracy when
plotting points on a
coordinate plane.
Students will apply
techniques for
graphing polygons
on coordinate plane
and finding the
length of a side
joining points in the
context of solving a
real-world or
mathematical
problem.

Topic 4: Coordinate Relationships
Learning Experiences by Common Core State Standard
In school, your child will…

Identify parts of the coordinate plane:
o Name the quadrants and axes of the plane
o The sign for each coordinate in each quadrant
At home, your child can…

Make maps plotting objects of places in a coordinate plane.
o
o
o

Reflect points over the x– or y–axes on coordinate plane.
Topic 4: Coordinate Relationships
o

Determine the relationship between coordinates reflected
over the x– and y–axes.
o The x- or the y-axes can be a line of symmetry.
o Points reflected over the x-axis have identical
x-coordinates and opposite y-coordinates.
o Points reflected over the y-axis have opposite
x-coordinates and identical y-coordinates.

Create a coordinate plane with an appropriate scale.

Find horizontal and vertical distances on a coordinate plane
using absolute value.
o Clarksville is located at (–4, 0) and Savage at (6, 0). I
know they both share the same y-coordinate, since
both towns are located along the x-axis. I will find
the distance each of the two towns is from the
origin and add those two distances; 4+6=10.
Make maps of rooms at home.
Design a map of a perfect shopping mall.
Create a pirate’s treasure map.
