1. Graph Rational Numbers on the Coordinate Plane
You already know how to graph whole numbers on the coordinate plane.
Maria hid clues to a scavenger hunt for her hiking club. The map shows where she hid the clues. Record your answers to the following questions on a separate piece of paper.
The first clue is hidden near a tree. What ordered pair describes its location?
Maria walked 4 blocks west to hide the next clue. Which location is it closest to?
She walked 1.5 blocks east and 1 block north to place the next clue. Which location is it closest to?
Maria walked 4 blocks south to place the next clue. Which location is it closest to?
Maria hid the final clue under a rock by the lake. How many blocks east did she walk to the lake?
After you have recorded your answers, proceed to the next slide to check your work.
