Locating Points

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on reinforcing the understanding of coordinate graphing in students. It presents a coordinate grid with labeled points A through H, but without the ordered pairs provided, requiring students to determine and write these pairs themselves. The task is accompanied by questions that ask students to identify specific points on the grid and calculate the distances between selected pairs of points. The sheet is neatly structured with instructions at the top and space provided for students to fill in the ordered pairs and answer the questions.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to deduce the ordered pairs for given locations on a coordinate plane. By identifying the coordinates of the labeled points, students practice their knowledge of the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes. The questions on point locations and distances are designed to help students apply this knowledge practically and to understand the concept of distance within the coordinate system. This exercise also serves as a foundation for more complex mathematical concepts involving spatial reasoning and geometry.
