Map reading is one of the most common uses of a coordinate system in everyday life. In this lesson, students use coordinates to locate and measure distances between locations.
Content in this Lesson
Identifying and describing locations in all four quadrants of a coordinate grid using ordered pairs [E6].
Prepare Chart Paper. Choose 3 or 4 sets of locations on the Chicago Map Master. See Figure 1 for a sample list. Write each set of locations on the top of a sheet of chart paper. Students will record their work for estimating the distance between these locations during the lesson.
