6th Grade Honors Mathematics Standard (6th grade honors correlates with 7th grade standards) from SC College and Career Ready Content Standards
6.NS.8 Extend knowledge of the coordinate plane to solve real-world and
mathematical problems involving rational numbers.
a. Plot points in all four quadrants to represent the problem.
b. Find the distance between two points when ordered pairs have the
same x-coordinates or y-coordinates.
c. Relate finding the distance between two points in a coordinate
plane to absolute value using a number line.
Objectives (ICAN Statement/SWBAT)
ICAN-means students can
- I can recognize that the x-axis is a horizontal number line.
- I can recognize that the y-axis is a vertical number line.
- I can plot points (including rational numbers) in all four quadrants to represent:
- real-world problems.
- mathematical problems.
- I can use all four quadrants of the coordinate plane to solve:
- real-world problems.
- mathematical problems.
- I can find the distance between two points when the ordered pairs have the same:
- x-coordinate.
- y-coordinate.
- I can understand that the distance between two points results in a positive value.
- I can relate to finding the distance on a coordinate plane, between two points, is the same as finding the absolute value of the same two numbers, using a number line (vertical or horizontal).
Vocabulary for standard
