First Quadrant Graphing

​Ms. Jasmine
5th grade

Objective

• ​Students will learn to identify and understand the structure of the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, where both x- and y-values are positive.

• Students will learn how coordinates are used in real-world scenarios, such as navigation and mapping, to locate places or objects.

• Students will practice plotting specific coordinates on the coordinate plane to find the location of hidden treasures.

• Intro

• What is a First Quadrant?

• Guided Practice and Participation

• Independent Practice

AGENDA

​Using a nagivating system can help you get to far places you haven't been to before.

Google Maps

Using a treasure map you can use clues to help get to a location where there is usually treasure or a prize!

​​Treasure Map

Giving someone directions can be easy or difficult, you can use landmarks for references or give directions based on blocks.

Giving Directions

Real-World Scenarios

The numbers on the x-axis are positive >
The numbers on the y-axis are positive ^

The origin is (0,0)

Coordinates will be written in the order of : ( x , y )

​

What is the First Quadrant?

Step 1: Move to the right on the x-axis to find x on the coordinate plane

Step 2: Move up on the y-axis to find y on the coordinate plane

​Step 3: Write your points
(x , y)

Guided Practice

Multiple Choice

What is the coordinate for the elephant?

• (5,7)

• (7,4)

• (7,5)

• (8,4)

Starting at the origin, I walk 7 blocks to the right and walk up 5 more blocks (7,5)

What street am I on?

How do you feel about the independent practice that you will complete?

• I got this!

• Good

• I still have questions

• I don't get it
