TEKS & Objectives
7.1.D communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate;
7.6.G solve problems using data represented in bar graphs, dot plots, and circle graphs, including part-to-whole and part-to-part comparisons and equivalents;
We will apply graphing concepts to navigation.
I will locate points on a coordinate plane.
1. Complete warmup.
2. Catch the bank robbers!

3. Check out the X Axis and Y Axis
When you have a pair of coordinates…
- The X Axis always goes first: (X, Y). It’s just like the alphabet!
- One of your axes could be letters, or they could both be numbers.
4. Navigate using grids.
