1. Start by reviewing with students the x and y axes on a graph and how to read coordinates (x, y).
2. Demonstrate how to create a zigzag line on the x axis using coordinates (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (3, 1), etc.
3. Have students practice creating their own zigzag lines on the x axis using different sets of coordinates.
4. Next, demonstrate how to create a zigzag line on the y axis using coordinates (0, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3), etc.
5. Have students practice creating their own zigzag lines on the y axis using different sets of coordinates.
6. Once students are comfortable creating zigzag lines on both the x and y axes, challenge them to create 4 different rectilinear shapes using various sets of coordinates.
7. Encourage students to be creative with their shapes and use different combinations of line segments to create rectangles, squares, and other rectilinear shapes.
8. Have students share their creations with the class and discuss the different strategies they used to create their shapes.
OBJECTTIVE: Students will create a ziz zag line on both the x and y axis using coordinate on the graph.
Warm up: dentify the xand y axis and the coordinates
Student will create 4 different rectilinear shapes.
