Clarification :
Students will identify ordered pairs or the location of a point on a coordinate grid (e.g., performing movement on the grid).
Students will identify characteristics of points located in each of the four quadrants, or on the x- and y-axes (i.e., all points in quadrant III have negative x- and negative y-coordinates).

| Dogpound Graphing | Students will graph ordered pairs within all four quadrants of a coordinate plane in order to complete the picture of a bulldog. |
| Coordinate Grids: The Key to the City (solving real-world problems using the coordinate grid) | This lesson contains a small group activity in which students use knowledge of graphing in a 4-quadrant coordinate grid. Students will individually solve a real-world problem to find the distance between two points on a coordinate grid. Students must utilize their knowledge of absolute value and subtracting integers to determine distances between points. |
