Alex has been planning for years to build her farm. She has set out a grid on her field and must make careful calculations to optimize her farm by listing various shapes and coordinates. Help her build the farm by following her plan in a list of coordinates!
Vocabulary Words
Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Draw Polygons On The Coordinate Plane. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
Which imaginary line was the x-axis and which was the y-axis? Which coordinate goes first, the x or the y? What is the formula for finding area of an object? How does a graph show the relationship between two variables x and y? How do we know which coordinate to graph first?
After the Game
How can you draw more shapes? Can all shapes on a field be visualized using a grid? In which quadrant would a point be located if both coordinates were negative? When given two coordinates, how can you find the distance between those two points? When was it necessary to use the absolute value of numbers in the game? What strategies did you use in the last level when you had to build the farm from scratch?
