Materials Preparation
Prepare Objects for Mapping. Identify a space in your classroom that is about 8 × 10 meters or smaller. Place Mr. Origin in the center of this space. Use masking tape to indicate the x- and y- axis on the floor. Look around this area and identify or place 2 objects per student group and 2 or 3 additional objects. See the TIMS Tip. Use an index card to label each object with a letter. Be sure there is at least one labeled object in each quadrant and space the objects about 2 meters apart. See Figure 1.
TIMS Tip
Choose the number of objects and the size of each group according to your class size. Groups of 3 students work best for this activity: one student measures the x- coordinate, one student measures y-coordinate, and one student records the data. If you have a smaller number of students, ask them to work in pairs and to locate more than 2 objects.
Prepare Table. List the objects students will map on a display of the Objects in Room _____ page from the Student Activity Book.
Prepare Packets of Copies. Organize the following copies into a packet for each group and clip them together: Mr. Moreno's Class Map Master, Milo Moved Mr. Origin Master, Milo Moved Mr. Origin Again Master.
