About This Kit

This FAST Success Kit is designed to help Grade 6 students master the coordinate plane before taking the Florida FAST assessment. All content is aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. Standards and fact-checked for accuracy.

Standards Covered:

MA.6.GR.1.1 - Extend previous understanding of the coordinate plane to plot rational number ordered pairs in all four quadrants
MA.6.GR.1.2 - Find distances between ordered pairs limited to the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate represented on the coordinate plane
MA.6.GR.1.3 - Solve problems by plotting points and drawing polygons in the coordinate plane

Key Concepts: Four quadrants, x-axis and y-axis, ordered pairs (x, y), positive and negative coordinates, origin, reflections across axes, distance between points
