5E Lesson Plan
Battleship
teachHOUSTON Student Name: Step 1 Student

Mentor Teacher Name: Grade Level: 5th

Lesson Teaching Date:

Concept(s): Ordered pairs represent the location of points on the coordinate plane. Knowing the x- and
y-axes along with the x- and y-coordinates of an ordered pair are vital when plotting points in the
coordinate plane. This is a mathematical concept that appears frequently in daily life. They are used
when giving geographic locations, when creating statistics charts, and to measure distance.

TEKS: (5.9) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student recognizes the connection between ordered
pairs of numbers and location of points on a plane. The student is expected to locate and name points
on a coordinate grid using ordered pairs of whole numbers.

Use the following diagram for each evaluation question.

Objectives Evaluation Questions for each Objective
The student will be able to:
1. Label points and axes on a coordinate grid. 1. Carl forgot to label the axes on his grid.
Label the x- and y-axis.

2. Which ordered pair best represents the
location of Carl’s house?

2. Locate points on a coordinate grid. 3. Whose house is located at (4, 0)?
3. Explain the steps needed to move from one 4. Mike, whose house is not shown on
point on a coordinate grid to another. the grid, lives 2 units east and 5 units
north of Carl. What are the
coordinates of Mike’s house?

lines called axes.]

On a coordinate grid, where is

[at the bottom; it is the vertical
axis]

Where is the y-axis?
[on the side; it is the horizontal
axis]

Where is the origin?
[The origin is at (0, 0). It is the
point in which the axes
originate.]

What do you think an ordered
pair represents?
[It represents the location of a
point on a coordinate grid]

I believe the ordered pair, (2, 3)
is located here:

Can someone please plot the
ordered pair, (2, 3), on the
coordinate grid?

Why did you place the point in
that location?
[We were given the ordered pair
(2, 3). We concluded that the x-
coordinate was 2, so we must
start at the origin and move two
places to the right. The y-
coordinate is 3 so we must then
move three places up.]

Do you believe that there is a
relationship between ordered
pairs and coordinate grids?
[yes]

If so, what is that relationship?
[Example: ordered pairs
represent the location of a point
on a coordinate grid]

TRANSITION STATEMENT
You will use the terms acquired in the Vocabulary Match activity as well as your problem solving skills to
complete the next activity, a game of Battleship. Throughout the game, your understanding of the
terms previously introduced will be measured. This will allow me to see what points may need to be
stressed and to clear up any misconceptions that exist.

TRANSITION STATEMENT
In the next activity, you will share your observations and results reached during the Battleship game.
Being able to eloquently communicating your thoughts and ideas is an important skill that will deepen
your understanding of the concepts being presented.

[Ordered pairs represent the
location of points on the
coordinate plane. Knowing the
x- and y-axes along with the x-

pair is vital when plotting points
in the coordinate plane.]

TRANSITION STATEMENT
Now that you have learned the necessary terms and recognize the relationship between ordered pairs
and coordinate planes, you will be able to complete the next activity. This activity will extend upon
what you have learned and requires you to use all information you’ve learned today. You will also have
an opportunity for creativity.
