9-30-2005 Math 2a Bring your ruler! Bring your graph paper!
1. HOMEWORK: Integer addition worksheet.
2. dot-to-dot picture and coordinates

OBJECTIVE: See 9-26 above. Integer subtraction [1.1.6] [1.3.3 Understand the location of points on a coordinate grid in any of the four quadrants; Identify the coordinates of the fourth point to make a rectangle given three points. [RL]; Plot and label ordered pairs in any of the four quadrants. [CU]; Name the coordinates of a given point in any of the four quadrants; Identify objects or the location of objects on a coordinate grid using coordinates or labels.] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Introduce/review integer subtraction and 4 quadrant graphing. Students will start on their dot-to-dot picture NOTES: HOMEWORK: Dot-to-Dot with a coordinates list on separate sheet.

Dot-to-dot

Remember, some points in each QUADRANT, The assignment is to make a list of the coordinates in order on a separate sheet of paper.

The guidelines for the dot-to-dot picture: Set up a piece of 1/4 inch square graph paper with an x and y axis in the center.

  • 1. Must have points in all 4 quadrants
  • 2. Minimum of 30 points
  • 3. Points must be in order and numbered. You cannot pick up the pencil and move to another place.
  • 4. Lines MUST change direction at a point (i.e., a staight line only has points at the end - no intermediary points)
  • 5. Retracing a line is allowed, but remember the line must change directions at a point.

The picture must be something recognizeable. Some exclusions include:

  • no logos
  • no letters, initials, words
  • no robots or space aliens
  • no Christmas trees
  • no designs

Some acceptable designs might be vehicles, buildings, plants, animals, people and cartoon type characters.

Here are some point for a dot-to-dot picture in all 4 quadrants. You can either plot them on graph paper or plug them (cut and paste) into the tool on the left margin above (online plotter)( The numbers go down the columns... )
