About the Mathematics in This Unit

Benchmarks Examples
Determine what values are represented by points on a coordinate grid. A coordinate grid shows a point at (3, 5).

Point B represents the value 3 on the x-axis and 5 on the y-axis.

Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the coordinate plane and interpret the graph in the context of the situation.

A graph titled “High Temperatures in One Year in Honolulu” shows the temperatures in Honolulu in 3-week intervals. The temperature starts at 90 in September, sinks to just below 80 in December, and then rises to over 90 in August.

On September 9, the temperature was 90°F.

Use tables and graphs to compare two situations governed by rules that generate numerical patterns. A graph titled “Tony, Maya, and Susie” shows the heights of Tony and Maya based on age. d

Please look for more information and activities about Temperature, Height, and Growth that will be sent home in the coming weeks.
