Description

In Agrimath: Quadrant Quest the player will farm for crops and by doing so will learn how to identify each quadrant by name or X and Y values. When given tasks like watering, planting seeds and harvesting, the player will have to pay attention which quadrant is the correct one to do such tasks. It is expected that by the end of the game the student understands and memorizes its position and values (positive and negative).

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Ordered Pairs on a Coordinate Plane. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Coordinates with same numbers but opposite signs are reflected across axis. (x, y) and (-x, y) are reflected across the y-axis. The coordinates (x, y) and (x, -y) are reflected across the x-axis. And coordinates (x,y) and (-x,-y) is reflected across both axis referred to as reflected across the origin. (diagonally reflected).

There are 4 quadrants on a coordinate grid. Quadrant I contains all coordinates in which x and y are positive (x,y). Quadrant II contains all coordinates where x is negative and y is positive (x, -y). Quadrant III contains all coordinates where x and y are negative (-x,-y), and Quadrant IV contains all coordinates where x is positive and y is negative (x, -y).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is an ordered pair? How are the x-axis and y-axis different? Where do negative numbers go on the x and y axis?

After the Game

If the coordinate is (-4, 4), what quadrant is it in? If the coordinate is (6, 7), what quadrant is it in?What did it mean to reflect over an axis? What is the X-axis reflection of (1, 9)? What is the Y-axis reflection of (-2, -3)?
