Lesson 5: Polygons on the Coordinate Plane
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
- Students will be able to graph a polygon on a coordinate plane.
- Students will be able to find the area of a polygon on a coordinate plane.
What are the properties of polygons, and how do they differ from other shapes like circles?
How can we find the area and perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, including irregular ones?
How does measurement help you solve problems in everyday life?

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.
