Today, fifth grade used a large coordinate plane to practice finding ordered pairs, for example (3,2). We walked the x and y axis. We stood on the origin. We made up a trick to remember that the origin is (0,0). "Oh No! 0, 0." I used cards that had various 2D shapes on them as the objects we found on the coordinate plane. So, then we were practicing vocabulary of 2D shapes as well as hunting the coordinate plane for ordered pairs! Super math day! Tons of fun! Very active and it involved everybody!
