X. The number line. The coordinate system on a plane. The student:

2) finds coordinates of points (in the drawing) marked on the coordinate system on a plane;

3) draws points of given, integer coordinates (of any sign) on the coordinate system.

Introductionme33b9e7b376abf03_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher asks each pair of students to bring chesschesschess for the class.

A few days before the class, the teacher asks students to prepare (in groups or individually) educationally‑historical materials about the game of chesschesschess.

The teacher introduces the subject of the lesson - identifying the location of chess pieces on the chessboardchessboardchessboard and finding the location of chess pieces on the chessboard based on their coordinates.

Procedureme33b9e7b376abf03_1528446435040_0Procedure

Flipped classroom:

Students verify obtained knowledge and assess their level of understanding the problem. They present obtained information in oral form or by using modern technologies.

Students organise their knowledge by answering teacher’s questions:

1. When was chesschesschess created?
2. How many elements does the game consist of?
3. How do you win in chesschesschess?
4. How many fields does the chessboardchessboardchessboard consist of?
5. What are chess pieces, pawns and figures?
6. How do chess pieces move on the board?
7. Have the rules changed since the creation of the game?

Students’ conclusions:

- Chess is a popular board game played by two players using white and black chess pieces.
- The chessboard consists of 64 fields.
- Each field on the chessboard is marked unambiguously using a pair of coordinates, whose first coordinate is a letter and second a number.
- For example, the position (d,6) means the field located at the intersection of the column marked with the letter d and a row marked with the number 6.me33b9e7b376abf03_1527752263647_0- Chess is a popular board game played by two players using white and black chess pieces.

Task
Students work individually, using computers. Their task is to describe the location of the chosen chess piecechess piecechess piece by its coordinates on the board.

Students work in pairs. They put their chessboards on desks and put chess pieces next to it.

Task
One of the students gives coordinates of the field where the chess piecechess piecechess piece should be located. The other students places it on the right field. Then students change roles. Time: 7 minutes.

Task
Students in pairs set the kingkingking, the queenqueenqueen, rooks, bishops and knights on the chessboardchessboardchessboard in the proper setting. They can use available knowledge sources. Then they suggest moves with figures and pawns on the chessboardchessboardchessboard, according to rules of the game. Students identify the field on which the chess piecechess piecechess piece is located.

The teacher sums up students work. The teacher reward pairs that did the most examples in the given time with pluses.

Students do the revision exercises.

Then together they sum‑up the classes, by formulating the conclusions to memorise.
