Subjects/Courses: Geography and Math
Grade Level: First Grade
Standards/.Eligible Content:
Math: 2.6.1.B Organize and display data using pictures, tallies, charts, bar graphs and pictographs.
2.6.1.C Describe data displayed in a diagram, graph or table.
Vocabulary: Coordinate, Column, Row, Axis, Horizontal, Vertical
Objectives: Students will understand how to assign a corridate.
Lesson Essential Question(s): How do I assign coordinates?
Duration 1 period; 45 minutes
Materials:
Suggested Instructional Strategies: Think-pair-share, Model with Mathematics
Instructional Procedures:
Activating Question (display blank grid on board): How could we use this? Think-pair-share before discussing.
Lesson: What can we use to label things? Guide Students to discuss how numbers (and letters) can be used in this fashion. Explain the two axis's and introduce that they are X and Y. Explain that the X axis (or horizontal) comes first. Using numbers and/or letters label the grid. Explain how each box has a coordinate. Practice determining the coordinates for random boxes. Call out coordinates and ask for volunteers to color the boxes. Different colors can be used to form a pattern. Continue as needed to develop student understanding.
Hands-on: Complete Build a City worksheet
Activity: Students should each be given a grid. Place several coordinates on the board. Students will place M&Ms in these locations on their grid. Teacher will call out coordinates and ask students where there is an M&M on that location. If there is they are able to eat it when directed. *See info Classroom Management tab regarding edibles*
Practice: Students will complete the Camper and Carnival worksheets. This activity will serve as the summative assessment for this lesson.
Formative Assessment: The teacher should be attentive during the hands-on and activity sessions and assist students as needed. Extra practice can be provided as needed.
