Havermoor's Hydrant Grid: A Grade 5 Coordinate Map Lesson
A 45-minute grade 5 lesson where students plot a fictional town's hydrants and valves as ordered pairs, then read block distances off the coordinate map.
Common Core Math · Grade 5
5.G.A.2 Graph points to solve real-world problems
Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
Why water teaches this standard well
Students plot a reservoir's water level on a coordinate grid, with days along one axis and feet of water along the other, then read specific points to answer questions about the reservoir's trend. This is a student's first coordinate-plane graph of the kind used to track drought conditions over a season.
Materials tagged with this code are written to the full standard , and each carries a written note explaining the alignment. See how we review materials.
