Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
Look at the map. What is the quadrant and coordinate signs for Bakersfield, California?
Quadrant I (+X, +Y)
Quadrant II (-X, +Y)
Quadrant III (-X, -Y)
Quadrant IV (+X, -Y)
Look at the map. Zoe starts the road trip in from Bakersfield (Quadrant III). She goes to Albuquerque (Quadrant IV). Which axis did she cross?
The horizontal line (X-axis)
The vertical line (Y-axis)
Both the X-axis and the Y-axis
The origin (0,0)
Zoe crossed the y-axis to travel from Bakersfield (Quadrant III) to Albuquerque (Quadrant IV). Which coordinate flipped its sign? Meaning, it changed from - to +. Hint: Read the map.
The Y-coordinate flipped from negative to positive.
The X-coordinate flipped from negative to positive.
The X-coordinate flipped from positive to negative.
Both coordinates remained negative.
Which pair of coordinate signs correctly defines the location of Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is in Quadrant IV?
(-X, +Y)
(-X, -Y)
(+X, +Y)
(+X, -Y)
To get from Albuquerque (Quadrant IV) to Denver (Quadrant I), the Arroyos must travel north. Which axis must they cross? HINT: Look at the map.
The horizontal line (X-axis)
The vertical line (Y-axis)
They do not cross any axis.
They cross the border between Quadrant II and Quadrant III.
When the Arroyos cross the X-axis to reach Denver, how do the coordinates change?
The X-coordinate flips from positive to negative.
The Y-coordinate flips from negative to positive.
Both coordinates flip their signs.
The X-coordinate flips, but the Y-coordinate stays negative.
Zoe realizes the Millers made a mistake trying to find a shortcut to Denver. What was their specific mistake in terms of coordinate movement?
They failed to cross the Y-axis.
They went east before going north.
They failed to cross the X-axis.
They crossed the origin, which is never required.
Both teams are in Quadrant I (Up and East). To reach the finish line at Yellowstone (Up and West), what is the final axis the Arroyos must cross?
The Y-axis
The X-axis
Both axes simultaneously
They must cross the origin (0,0)
Read the map. What are the final coordinate signs for Yellowstone National Park in Quadrant II?
(+X, +Y)
(-X, +Y)
(-X, -Y)
(+X, -Y)
Based on Zoe's strategy, what is the best way to win the race?
Cross the axis the fastest.
Cross the x-axis before crossing the y-axis.
Quadrant I is always the largest quadrant on the map.
The Millers should have only used negative coordinates.
