The Coordinate Grid Lesson Plan Background Information Objectives At the end of the coordinate grid lesson, students will be able to: • Identify x- and y-axes, point of origin, quadrants, coordinates, and ordered pairs. • Read, interpret, and plot points in any of the quadrants. A coordinate grid is a way to identify or describe any point on a flat surface, or plane, using a horizontal number line, the x-axes, with both positive and negative numbers, and a vertical number line, the y-axis. These axes form four quadrants, or sections; the number lines intersect at right angles at zero on both lines, the point of origin. Every point on the plane can be described this way, as coordinates or ordered pairs. The x-axis position is always stated first followed by a comma, then the y-axis, (x,y). This lesson should take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete, if all components are utilized. Video Introduce the video by asking students how they might identify one point on a map or a two-dimensional image, like a graph. Suggest to the students “As you watch the video, pay attention to how to plot positive and negative coordinates.” Show the video Positive and Negative Coordinates. After watching the video, focus on these points: • The axes intersect at right angles at the point of origin (0,0). • The value of “x” (or the point on the x-axis) is named first followed by a comma then the value of the “y” (or the point on the y-axis). • Each quadrant contains the same pattern of values; Q1 (+,+), Q2 (-,+), Q3 (-,-), Q4 (+,-). The coordinate grid will also be used to answer one type of alternative format question on the GED® test. These videos explain how to use the coordinate grid to answer alternative format questions. Show the videos Using the Coordinate Grid and Alternate Format Gridding. After watching the videos, focus on these points: • The coordinate grid is used to answer some questions on the GED® test. • The student must identify points when given the coordinate pair. • The student must describe any point in terms of coordinate pairs.
