Lesson 2 Points on the Coordinate Grid

- Let’s plot points on the coordinate grid.

Warm-up Notice and Wonder: A Point

What do you notice? What do you wonder?

Coordinate grid. horizontal and vertical axis, 0 to 10, by 1's. 1 point plotted at 5 comma 6.

Activity 1 What’s the Point?

Play 2 rounds of What’s the Point so each partner gets a chance to draw.
- Sit back to back with your partner.
- Partner A: Choose a card. Then, describe the location of the point to your partner.
- Partner B: Draw the point on the blank coordinate grid.
- Compare the card with your partner’s diagram.
- Discuss: What’s the same? What’s different?
Use words to explain the location of the point on the grid.

Activity 2 Plot and Label Points

Problem 1

Coordinate grid. horizontal and vertical axis, 0 to 10, by 1's. point plotted. Labeled P.

Coordinate grid. horizontal and vertical axis, 0 to 10, by 1's. point plotted. Labeled Q.

Problem 2

List the coordinates for each point.

Practice Problem

Problem 1

What are the coordinates of the point on the grid?

Locate and label point $A$ with coordinates $(7, 1)$ , point $B$ with coordinates $(2, 8)$ , and point $C$ with coordinates $(6, 6)$ .

Coordinate grid. horizontal and vertical axis, 0 to 10, by 1's. Point graphed at 9 comma 3.
