Llama Plotting Points - Coordinate Graphing Mystery Picture (2024)

Do your Middle School students need help strengthening their skills graphing ordered pairs in all 4 Quadrants? Check out this engaging llama activity that is on the FUN side! Makes a great Emergency Sub Folder addition as well.

It's a great resource to keep in your emergency sub folder!

The ordered pairs in this activity are in all four quadrants and are all integers/no decimals (except for the optional challenge add-on).

Please view the preview to view the completed picture.

What's Included

•Blank Coordinate Grid (with & without numbers)

•2 Sets of Ordered Pairs to be graphed (Easy & Hard) - Both pairs make the same picture but the hard version has the pieces scrambled so the picture isn't revealed until the end.

•Answer Key

FAQs

How to coordinate points on a graph? ›

Step 1: Identify the point in question, (x,y). Step 2: Determine its x-coordinate, which will be the horizontal distance from the origin. Step 3: Determine its y-coordinate, which will be the vertical distance from the origin. Step 4: Plot or label the point (depending on what the question is asking).

How to set up a coordinate plane? ›

First, we draw two number lines perpendicular to one another, intersecting at the point 0 on both lines. Then, we simply label the horizontal number line as the x-axis and label the vertical number line as the y-axis. There we have it!

What are the points on a coordinate plane? ›

A point in a coordinate plane is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x, y). The first number corresponds to the x-coordinates and the second to the y-coordinate. Exactly one ordered pair of numbers names a given point in the plane.

What is an example of a coordinate point? ›

Example 1: The point where both the axes intersect is known as the origin. Coordinates of the origin are written as O(0, 0). Example 2: In the figure below, the coordinates of point A are (3,4). It means that the point is 3 units along the x-axis and 4 units up.

What is a coordinate plane in 6th grade? ›

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of two number lines. One of these number lines is a horizontal number line called the x-axis and the other number line is a vertical number line called the y-axis.

How to plot points on a graph with an equation? ›

To graph a linear equation by plotting points, you need to find three points whose coordinates are solutions to the equation. You can use the x- and y- intercepts as two of your three points. Find the intercepts, and then find a third point to ensure accuracy. Make sure the points line up—then draw the line.

What are coordinates for dummies? ›

The two axes intersect at the origin (0, 0). Points are located within the coordinate plane with pairs of coordinates called ordered pairs—like (8, 6) or (–10, 3). The first number, the x-coordinate, tells you how far you go right or left; the second number, the y-coordinate, tells you how far you go up or down.

How to solve for coordinates? ›

Identify which quadrant of the graph contains an ordered pair or a point. Measure the distance between the point and the x-axis. Similarly, to obtain the coordinate value, measure the point's distance from the y-axis. There, you will be getting the coordinates of the point.

What is an ordered pair in math? ›

An ordered pair in math is a simplified way of writing out two variable values. It is two numbers separated by a comma within parenthesis. The first number represents the x-value, and the second number represents the y-value.

How do you work out the coordinate of a point? ›

Go to the coordinate graph with the lines X'OX (in x-axis), Y'OY (in y-axis). Identify which quadrant of the graph contains an ordered pair or a point. Measure the distance between the point and the x-axis. Similarly, to obtain the coordinate value, measure the point's distance from the y-axis.

How to write coordinates xy? ›

The x coordinate always comes first, followed by the y coordinate. That is why (3, 4) is not the same as (4, 3). (3, 4) refers to a point three units to the right of zero and four units above zero. (4, 3) refers to a point four units to the right of zero and three units above zero.
