Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the plane. Maze Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Algebra, Geometry, Graphs

Related Topics: cartesian coordinate, coordinate, coordinate plane, coordinate system, graph

Plot ordered pairs on the graph, and they will be connected in the order that they are input. This enables you to decide how the pairs should be connected, rather than having the computer connect them from left to right.
