Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
5.G.A.1
Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).	What's the Point? Challenge your graph skills by identify the coordinates on a coordinate plane. Ordered Pairs This notebook helps you travel in a coordinate plane. Ordered Pairs Students will graph points on a coordinate plane. Solving Open Spaces Examples of plotting points and finding coordinates are shown.

Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.
5.G.B.3
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
