4.18 The student will identify the ordered pair for a point and locate the point for an ordered pair in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane.
Lessons (2)
Introduces students to plotting points on the Cartesian coordinate system -- an alternative to "Graphing and the Coordinate Plane."
Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
Activities (2)
Investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of randomly generated points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. Simple Coordinates Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Investigate the first quardant of the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the grid. Simple Maze Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
