Florida B.E.S.T. MA.6.GR.1

MA.6.GR.1 is a B.E.S.T. standard. These are the benchmarks under it.

• MA.6.GR.1.1

  Extend previous understanding of the coordinate plane to plot rational number ordered pairs in all four quadrants and on both axes. Identify the x- or y-axis as...

• MA.6.GR.1.2

  Find distances between ordered pairs, limited to the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate, represented on the coordinate plane.

• MA.6.GR.1.3

  Solve mathematical and real-world problems by plotting points on a coordinate plane, including finding the perimeter or area of a rectangle.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students plot and interpret rational ordered pairs in all four quadrants. They use coordinates to identify reflections and find horizontal or vertical distances between points.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students accurately plot and name rational ordered pairs in all four quadrants and on the axes. They identify reflections and calculate horizontal or vertical distances using coordinate differences.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may reverse the x- and y-coordinates or use the wrong signs in different quadrants. They may count grid lines instead of unit intervals when finding horizontal or vertical distance.

04

How to Assess It

Give students this exit ticket: Plot A(-2.5, 3), reflect it across the y-axis, name the new point, and find the distance between them.

1. 01

   Tape a coordinate grid on the floor, then have students stand on ordered-pair cards, reflect positions, and measure horizontal or vertical distances.

2. 02

   Ask students to explain why reflecting (-3, 2) across the y-axis changes only one coordinate.

3. 03

   Play coordinate bingo by calling ordered pairs, reflections, or distances while students mark matching points on their grids.

4. 04

   Use a city map grid to locate landmarks and calculate straight horizontal or vertical distances between locations.

• MA.912.NSO.2.4

  Solve mathematical and real-world problems involving complex numbers represented algebraically or on the coordinate plane.

• MA.5.GR.4.2

  Represent mathematical and real-world problems by plotting points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane and interpret coordinate values of points in the...

• MA.912.GR.3

  Use coordinate geometry to solve problems or prove relationships.
