Discussion questions
A few questions to talk through after watching Understanding the Basic Coordinate Plane:
- Where in the video did the idea of understanding the basic coordinate plane first "click" for you?
- Can you walk a partner through one of the examples in your own words?
- Where might you use understanding the basic coordinate plane outside of math class?
- What part would you want to see one more time, and why?
Quick work-a-long
Try it:
- In one sentence, tell a neighbor what understanding the basic coordinate plane means.
- Draw or write one example of your own, then check it against the video.
