Plotting Points in the Coordinate Plane

​Plotting Points in the Coordinate Plane

​Learning Goal:  Students can plot ordered pairs and identify quadrants on the coordinate plane.

​

​

​

​Key Vocabulary

​

​

​

The coordinate plane is formed by two number lines.​

​

​On​e number line is horizontal and is called the x-axis.

​

​The other number line is vertical number line and is called the y-axis.

​

The x-axis and the y-axis intersect at a point called the origin. At the origin, both x and y are equal to zero. The origin as at (0,0).

​Key Vocabulary

​

​The coordinate plane is divided into four equal parts by the intersection of the x-axis (the horizontal number line) and the y-axis. These four regions are called quadrants because they each represent one-quarter of the whole coordinate plane

Multiple Select

The x axis goes

• left and right

• up and down

• horizontal

• vertical

Multiple Select

The y-axis goes _

• left and right

• up and down

• horizontal

• vertical

Multiple Select

The coordinate plane is

• made up of four quadrants

• formed by a horizontal and vertical number lines

• made up of 2 quadrants

Multiple Select

The origin is

• where the x axis and y axis intersect

• Is at (0,0)

• in the 1st quadrant

• where we begin graphing all ordered pairs

​Key Vocabulary

An ordered pair refers to a pair of numbers written inside brackets and are separated by a comma.

​

The x coordinate is the first number and tells you how many spaces to move left or right.

​

the y coordinate is the second number and tells you how many spaces to move up or down.
