Study 6.MG.3 with SOL PrepBack to Grade 6 Math

What students need to be able to do

  • Identify and label the axes, origin, and quadrants of a coordinate plane.
  • Identify and describe the location (quadrant or axis) of a point given as an ordered pair with integer coordinates.
  • Graph ordered pairs in the four quadrants and on the axes of a coordinate plane with integer coordinates.
  • Identify ordered pairs represented by points in the four quadrants and on the axes of the coordinate plane with integer coordinates.
  • Relate the coordinates of a point to the distance from each axis and relate the coordinates of a single point to another point on the same horizontal or vertical line with integer coordinates.
  • Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to determine the length of a side joining points with the same first or second coordinate with integer coordinates.
