Coordinate Plane Fabian Meraz EDU214 Information Technology in Teaching NSC Dr. Graziano September 1, 2011 8th grade
Introduction • There is a knock at your door. You open the door and see a little girl sobbing. • She says “ detective please help me. I cannot find my dog anywhere. Could you please help me find him.” • She gives you a folder with clues of where the dog is. She mentions she found the folder in the dog’s doghouse.
Task • Your goal is to find the missing dog. • For every clue, draw the coordinate plane and shade or plot a point where you think the dog might be. • Remember to label the x-axis and the y-axis. • Also, label the four quadrants.
Task • After you analyze the clues and find the position of the missing dog, you will draw the coordinate system and label where the missing dog is located. • On a separate piece of paper, write what you have learned. Minimum of one paragraph. Write another paragraph explaining how the coordinate system is used in real life.
Process • You will be working alone on this assignment. • If you have trouble understanding some English words, you can click on the image to have it translated. • Copy and paste the material you would like to translate to the website.
Process • If you have trouble reading the web pages, you can go to this link. This link will turn your text into spoken words. • If you have trouble seeing a webpage because the font is too small, you can use the zoom button on the web browser.
Process • First you will review the coordinate plane. • Click on this graph to start • After you read the information come back to the PowerPoint.
Process • Next, you will review the four quadrants • click on the graph to see the video • After you read the information come back to the PowerPoint. • Now you will master your quadrant knowledge. Click on the basketball to begin. • After you finish the game come back to the PowerPoint.
Process • Now, it is time for you to review how to plot points on a coordinate plane. • click on the fly to begin • After you finish the game come back to the PowerPoint. • Click on this graph to master how to plot points and the quadrants.
Process • Finally you will review reflections on the x and y axis. Only read the first two sections. • Click on the graph to begin. • After you finish reading come back to the PowerPoint.
Clues • The dog found a piece of meat at (3,5). • Then the dog fell asleep. (3,5) reflected on the x-axis. • Now the dog is at the park. The point where he is now is a reflection on the y-axis of the previous point. • The dog is on a point where the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative. What quadrant is he in?
Conclusion • After completing this assignment you should be able to: • Draw the coordinate system. • Plot points on the coordinate system. • Identify the four quadrant. • Reflect points over the x and y-axis.
