Students then reviewed on how to graph coordinate points on a coordinate plane.  They became human points and had to plot themselves.  The students also learned a dance to remember how to graph the x coordinate first and then the y coordinate second.

Students also learned how to find the distance between two points by counting the “bunny hops”  and plotting coordinated and connecting them to create a polygon.

Students will take Unit 1 Assessment on Friday 10/28 and Monday 10/31.  Please encourage your students to study for the District assessment.
