Launch
Students will enter the project by physically testing a pizza shop layout on a floor coordinate plane, using positive and negative coordinates, decimal costs, and distance language to notice what makes a map accurate and easy to use. They will record an early draft with extra white space, complete a brief reflection and progress check, and conference with the teacher to set up the next phase of user-centered revision work.

Empathy And Insights
Students will gather quick user evidence about what makes a pizza-shop coordinate map clear, turn that evidence into an empathy artifact and How Might We statement, and use feedback plus teacher conferences to revise a criteria checklist for accurate plotting, decimal measurements, and ratio-based decisions.
