Follow directions on a coordinate plane

Follow directions on a coordinate plane

What you'll learn

  • Plot at least 8 out of 10 points correctly on a coordinate plane given specific ordered pairs within the range of -10 to 10 on both axes.
  • Identify the coordinates (x, y) of at least 4 out of 5 points already plotted on a coordinate plane with 100% accuracy.
  • Follow a sequence of at least 3 instructions involving movements (e.g., 'Move 3 units right, then 2 units up') on a coordinate plane, arriving at the correct final coordinate with 100% accuracy.
  • Explain in writing the effect of changing the x-coordinate or y-coordinate of a point on its position on the coordinate plane, using academic vocabulary such as 'horizontal', 'vertical', 'axis', and 'origin'.
