Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Draw Polygons On The Coordinate Plane. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Identify coordinates for a polygon with specific properties and justifying using the coordinates and their relationships.
Vertices are the intersection of an x and y coordinate.
Given dimensions for a polygon, plot possible locations and draw on a coordinate plane.
Use distance on a coordinate grid overlaid with a map to solve problems.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are some popular polygons and what are their properties? What is the notation for congruent segments on a diagram? What are congruent segments?

After the Game

How were you able to determine where to graph the vertices? How did you know how long to make each side of the shape since you started with the coordinates of only one point?
