Use this Cartesian Plane Drawing Pack to give your students practice plotting coordinates on the Cartesian plane.
Cartesian Plane Drawing Makes Plotting Coordinates Fun!
This differentiated set of Cartesian plane drawings is an engaging way for your students to practice plotting coordinates. Once students plot the correct coordinates, a picture appears, providing immediate feedback. This resource is a great addition to any Cartesian plane unit.
This set comes with the following Cartesian plane drawings:
- Rocket (easy)
- House (medium)
- Lion (hard)
Let your students choose the picture of their choice, or assign them based on ability.
Directions:
- Give students a Cartesian plane drawing worksheet, a pencil, a ruler, and coloured pencils or crayons.
- Students plot two coordinates at a time and use a ruler to draw a line between them.
- Students add colour and other finishing touches to their picture.
The Importance of the Cartesian Plane
When engaged in a fun activity such as this, students may not immediately recognise the importance of learning to plot coordinates. However, this skill is foundational to many other future maths concepts, including:
- Graphing Linear Equations
- Slope and Intercept
- Functions
- Inequalities
- Systems of Equations
- Transformations
Learning to plot coordinates is the first step in a longer mathematical journey!
