Plotting Locations!



As we continue with our data management unit, we have been working with Cartesian Planes.  Although the concept is a simple one, it is important for the students to remember that the numbers on the axes line up with the lines on the grid and that the numbers in each ordered pair that name each specific point must be in a specific  order:  (number of steps to the right, number of steps up).  Therefore (3,4) means three right, up four when beginning at the origin.
