Determining Subject Matter
I worked with the CT to identify the topic that would be appropriate for this assignment. After reviewing the upcoming lessons and considering the timeline, we agreed that I would teach the students about coordinate planes, including the parts of the plane, how to plot points, find the distance between points, and reflect points across axes. The timing of this topic is fitting since the students just completed a unit on number lines, integers, and rational numbers.
State, District, and National Standards Met
The two AZ College and Career Readiness Standards, found on the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) website, that will be taught during this topic are:
6.NS.C.6. Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
b. 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.
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 …show more content…
The school’s program, Eureka Math, provides learning objectives for each lesson, but they are not very student-friendly. So I worked with my CT to rewrite them so the students could clearly understand the focus of the lesson and take some responsibility for their
