6.G.A.3
Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Where this sits in the school year
Our Grade 6 Math scope and sequence teaches 6.G.A.3 in Unit 10: Area, Volume & Nets, weeks 26–29.
Areas by composing and decomposing, prisms with fractional edges, polygons on the coordinate plane, and surface area from nets. See the full pacing guide →
