The Big Idea – Direction and Destiny

Big Idea

The coordinate plane helps us plot and compare data. By graphing graduation rates across different districts, we can see patterns of equity or inequity. God calls us to seek justice in education so all students have the chance to succeed.


Math + Faith Example

District A: 95% graduation → (1, 95)
District B: 88% graduation → (2, 88)
District C: 72% graduation → (3, 72)
District D: 60% graduation → (4, 60)

When plotted, the points show a downward trend, meaning some districts are falling behind. The coordinate plane makes disparities clear.
