Grade 6 - Geometry and Spatial Sense
Standard 6.GSS.3 - The coordinate graph represents the location of different objects. Use the graph to find the distance between them.
Included Skills: Graphing
Location and Movement • explain how a coordinate system represents location, and plot points in the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate plane; • identify, perform, and describe, through investigation using a variety of tools (e.g., grid paper, tissue paper, protractor, computer technology), rotations of 180� and clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of 90�, with the centre of rotation inside or outside the shape; • create and analyse designs made by reflecting, translating, and/or rotating a shape, or shapes, by 90� or 180� (Sample problem: Identify rotations of 90� or 180� that map congruent shapes, in a given design, onto each other.).
