The task was adapted from Illustrative Mathematics Grade 5, Unit 7, Lesson 12 and utilizes the lesson planning template from Stride 3: A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction: Creating Conditions to Thrive (pages 13–14).
The lesson is intended to:
- Support development of mathematical identity by fostering a positive learning environment where students see themselves as mathematicians in a math community where discourse supports diverse perspectives and active listening.
- Create opportunities for students to discern structure when representing points on the coordinate grid.
