E. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
F. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

problem_activity: Activity
Students reason abstractly and quantitatively about temperatures over time graphed on coordinate axes (MP2). The goal of this activity is for students to use inequalities to describe the location of points on a coordinate grid in one direction. This activity also introduces the idea of vertical difference on the coordinate plane using a familiar context. Students may use previous strategies such as counting squares, but are not expected to explicitly add or subtract using negative numbers.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Allow students 3–4 minutes of quiet work time and 1–2 minutes to check results with their partner. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Connect a new concept to one with which students have experienced success. For example, remind students about the sea levels and elevation number line representations.
Supports accessibility for: Social-emotional skills; Conceptual processing

The coordinate plane shows the high and low temperatures in Nome, Alaska over a period of 8 days. The axis labeled
\(T\)
represents temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. The axis labeled
\(d\)
represents the day.
[IMG]
What was the warmest high temperature?
Write an inequality to describe the high temperatures,
\(H\)
, over the 8-day period.
What was the coldest low temperature?
Write an inequality to describe the low temperatures,
\(L\)
, over the 8-day period.
On which day(s) did the
largest
difference between the high and low temperatures occur? Write down this difference.
On which day(s) did the
smallest
difference between the high and low temperatures occur? Write down this difference.

Before doing this problem, do the problem about taxicab distance in an earlier lesson.
The point
\((0,3)\)
is 4 taxicab units away from
\((\text{-}4,3)\)
and 4 taxicab units away from
\((2,1)\)
.
Find as many other points as you can that are 4 taxicab units away from
both
\((\text{-}4,3)\)
and
\((2,1)\)
.
Are there any points that are 3 taxicab units away from both points?

Anticipated Misconceptions
Because the high temperature on day 7 was positive and the low temperature was negative, some students may not notice that the difference was 10 degrees on this day as well. Consider prompting them to use tracing paper to compare the temperature differences on days 6 and 7.
Activity Synthesis
This discussion should lead to two key takeaways. First, students express the range of values for the low and high temperatures using inequalities. Second, students share strategies for finding a difference between two values on the coordinate plane.
Ask students to share their inequalities for
\(H\)
and
\(L\)
. It is expected that students have inequalities that describe the maximum high temperature for
\(H\)
and the minimum low temperature for
\(L\)
, but the discussion should bring out that each variable has 4 statements that capture its possible values:
\(L>\text-3\)
,
\(L=\text-3\)
,
\(L < 26\)
, and
\(L=26\)
for the variable
\(L\)
and
\(H>2\)
,
\(H=2\)
,
\(H < 28\)
, and
\(H=28\)
for the variable
\(H\)
.
Ask students to share their strategies for finding the vertical distance between points. Push them to explain how they took the scale of the vertical axis into account. Invite students to explain how they used the context to make sense of their answers.
Listening, Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To support students in producing statements about details in the inequalities, provide sentence frames for students to use when they explain their reasoning to their peers, such as: “This inequality should/should not also be equal to because _____”, “A situation uses an equal sign when _____”, “I know that the inequality _____ is correct because _____.”
