Periods 2 & 4 Math

Standards:  6.NS.5. Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation. Objective:  I will use the coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same x- or the same y-coordinate.  I will also recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes. Agenda: 1. Number talk & annotate the objective      - Quiz  (Period 2 only) 2. CPM Lesson  3.2.4         Problems: 3-123  (Whole Group: 12 minutes)                            3-126 (4 minutes)                            3-127 (8 minutes)                            2-122  (Exit Ticket) 3. Homework: Math Minute due TOMORROW
