Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Define Coordinate Plane. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, to define a coordinate system with the intersection of the lines arranged to coincide with the 0.

When locating a point on the graph, you would first move from the origin horizontally as marked by the x value and then move vertically from that point as denoted by the y value.

The first number in an ordered pair is labeled the x coordinate and the second the y coordinate and is expressed as (x, y).

Where the x-axis and y-axis meet is called the origin and it represents 0 for both axis - the point is therefore (0, 0).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are coordinates? What is the x-axis? What is the y-axis?

After the Game

Which way did your character move across the grid first, which axis was this? Explain the difference between the x and y axis. What did you have to do in order to avoid the fencing or puddles?
