Distance of Segments in the Coordinate Plane

SPI 0506.4.5

Imagine with me………

We are all on a boat. A storm comes up and our boat wrecks on the shore of an island. We are stranded and looking for food. We find a poem and a map that apparently were left by pirates……

To hunt for your treasure, a few things you must know~

This map is for those who are ready to show

how to find ordered pairs on a coordinate grid

And measuring distances is for really smart kids!

ARGGGG! Sincerely, Pirate Pete

5th grade students in the state of Tennessee should be able to….

find the length of vertical or horizontal line segments in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, including problems that require the use of fractions and decimals.

Today Pirate Pete is going to help us master this skill!

Ahoy mateys…….

When we finish our lesson today, Pirate Pete wants us to be able to say……

I CAN identify a coordinate grid. I CAN locate ordered pairs on a coordinate grid.I CAN find the distance between ordered pairs

on a coordinate grid.

• x axis – a horizontal number line on a coordinate grid.

1 2 3 4 50 6 x

• y axis – a vertical number line on a coordinate grid.

Practice with Ordered Pairs(When you finish, please begin working on your treasure map. I will

come to you to provide feedback.)

1. Put a yellow dot on the ordered pair (2,3).

2. Put a red dot on the ordered pair (4,6). 3. Put a green dot on the ordered pair (6,3). 4. Connect the ordered pairs.

5. What is the distance between the yellow and green vertices?6. What shape have you drawn?

Pirate Pete is proud that his mateys can say with

confidence……

I CAN identify a coordinate grid. I CAN locate ordered pairs on a coordinate grid.I CAN find the distance between ordered pairs

on a coordinate grid.

Partner work using Pirate Pete’s Treasure Map(Please highlight any questions with which you and

your partner need help.)1. What is located at 5,2? 2. What is located at 2,4?3. Which ordered pair names the location of the hamburger? 4. Which ordered pair names the location of the french fries?5. Which ordered pair names the location of the treasure chest? 6. What is the length of the line segment from the skull bone to the rock? Is the line segment from the

skull bone to the rock vertical or horizontal?7. What is the length of the line segment from the rock to the treasure chest? Is the line segment from

the skull bone to the treasure chest vertical or horizontal?8. What is the length of the line segment from the treasure chest to the shark infested water? Is the line

segment from the skull bone to the treasure chest vertical or horizontal?9. What is the length of the line segment from the shark infested water to the skull bone? Is the line

segment vertical or horizontal?10. Pirate Pete’s riddle…..I spy 2 things on the map with a distance of 8 units. Which two things do I see? 11. What shape have you made as you have measured the distance between these four points? 12. What kind of angles are in this shape?13. Why is it a rectangle and not a square?14. Find the perimeter of the shape.15. Find the area of the shape.

CONNECTIONS

On the grid below, plot the points that have coordinates (B, 1), (B, 3), and (D, 5).

Plot 3 more points on the grid so that when you connect all 6 points you will make a rectangle.

List the coordinates for the 3 new points. _______ _______ _______ Connect the 6 points to show your rectangle.
