In this worksheet, students will practice identifying the coordinates of points plotted on a scatter plot. Students will receive 15 random points spread across the four quadrants in a coordinate plane. As they identify the coordinates of each point, they can see the points changing from red to green, making the activity more engaging. Each student will receive a different set of coordinates, helping to avoid cheating.
Key Features:
Common Core: MATH
Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
