Description

In this worksheet, students plot a set of cartesian coordinates over four quadrants, and connect the dots, to find a mathematical message. It is a part of a larger unit designed to teach students the basics of the cartesian coordinate system, first in a single quadrant, and then in all 4.

Suitable for
  • Fast Finishers
  • Relief Teachers
