Learning Outcomes
What relevant goals will this unit address?
(include all relevant GLO(s) & SLO(s))

General Learning Outcome:

Describe and analyze position and motion of objects and shapes.

Specific Learning Outcomes:

4. Identify and plot points in the four quadrants of a Cartesian plane, using integral ordered
pairs. [C, CN, V]
5. Perform and describe transformations (translations, rotations or reflections) of a 2-D shape
in all four quadrants of a Cartesian plane (limited to integral number vertices). [C, CN, PS, T,
V] [ICT: C6–3.4]
