UNIT OVERVIEW

Students begin this unit exploring negative numbers. They then use this understanding as they plot points in all four quadrants of a grid. Students describe locations on a grid using ordered pairs. They construct two-dimensional shapes by plotting points on a grid and then classify shapes using their properties.
