Geometry

5th Grade students will be able to:

• Identify parts of the coordinate plane (x-axis, y-axis, and the origin) and the ordered pair (x-coordinate and y-coordinate). Limit the coordinate plane to quadrant I. 

• Represent real-world and mathematical problems by plotting points in quadrant I of the coordinate plane and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.  

• Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. 

  • Example 1: All polygons have at least three sides, and pentagons are polygons, so all pentagons have at least three sides. 

  • Example 2: A rectangle is a parallelogram, which is a quadrilateral, which is a polygon; so, a rectangle can be classified as a parallelogram, as a quadrilateral, and as a polygon.
