Human Ordered Pairs!

We have been learning about the Cartesian Coordinate Plane recently! If you remember this post , we've finally reached this section of math. I purchased A Fly on the Ceiling from amazon sometime last week to prepare for this new topic. Thanks to previous experience with read alouds for kindergarteners and 1st graders, the kids were really engaged with the story. After spending a little time modeling how to find an ordered pair, everyone wanted to try! They had a blast.

While some kids were too cool for school, most of the students did some plotting and had fun with the activity. I gave them post-its with ordered pairs to plot. Most of the classes are working on quadrants now.
