Describe axes, origin (0,0), x- and y-coordinates and movement to plot points.
The intent of 5.8A is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Coordinate Plane Basics.
Aligned tasks under 5.8A balance fluency and reasoning so students can explain decisions about Coordinate Plane Basics.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 5.8A.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 5.8A.
Standard 5.8A describes the essential skills and understandings for Coordinate Plane Basics in Grade 5. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Coordinate Plane Basics, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
