Beginner Level

Upon completion of the lesson, students will be able to identify and describe the coordinate system, construct an example of the grid used in Cartesian's coordinate system, and use the system to graph points and functions.  Students will also be able to reflect coordinates across the x-axis, y-axis, and origin. 

The teacher will introduce the coordinate system step by step; quadrants, positive numbers, negative numbers, x-axis, y-axis, coordinates, the origin, and ordered pairs. The teacher will engage the students through discussion, note-taking, and problem solving. The teacher will demonstrate how to plot ordered pairs and provide ordered pairs for each student to plot on the coordinate system.

Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials

Master's Degree in Education from University of Phoenix

Hello! My name is Mrs. Carla, and I am always excited about teaching and cannot wait to teach your learner.  My favorite subjects, personally and to teach, are math, reading, writing, and science.

I have taught students through Outschool for the past two and a half years. For over 15 plus years I have been employed in diverse roles within the education sector. I have been a teacher, substitute teacher, instructional support, lead teacher in a childcare facility, volunteer, and tutor. I have my Associates of Science in Office Information Systems, Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and Master of Education Degree (PK-8), and I have also been fortunate to work with students who were high schoolers, special needs, and homebound.

In my class, your student will use their prior knowledge, share ideas, participate through discussion to help develop their academic and social skills. I look forward to getting to know your student and learn how they learn to better support them in their success in school.

Not only do I enjoy teaching, but I am also an entrepreneur, avid gardener, crafter, and carpenter.
