1. The Coordinate Plane (part 1)
Welcome to Math 6
The Coordinate Plane
(part 1)

2. Objective:
Each student will:
Graph points on a coordinate plane.
Name the quadrants of a coordinate plane.
Find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane

3. Connector:

4. Key vocabulary
Coordinate plane- The plane containing the "x" axis and "y" axis.
Cartesian Coordinates- Using Cartesian Coordinates you mark a point on a graph by how far along and how far up it is.
Quadrants- The four sections of a
coordinate grid that are separated by the axes.

5. “y-axis”
“x-axis”

6. Coordinates- (x, y)

7. Quadrants

8. Two Points in Quadrant I Two Points in Quadrant II
Two Points in Quadrant III
Two Points in Quadrant IV
