Start and End Points

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a coordinate graphing exercise that requires students to plot points and follow directions on a Cartesian plane. The task is to start at the given ordered pairs, listed as A through F, and then move according to the specified directions to find the end points. Students will use the grid to navigate horizontally and vertically, as the directions involve movements described in units left, right, up, and down. The worksheet provides a structured way to practice translating verbal instructions into spatial understanding on a graph.

The worksheet is intended to teach students the basics of coordinate graphing, including how to interpret and plot ordered pairs. It also focuses on the understanding of the Cartesian plane’s quadrants and how to move within this space by applying directional and numerical instructions. By completing this exercise, students will learn how to adjust coordinates to reflect movements along the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes. This skill is fundamental in developing spatial reasoning and the ability to visualize mathematical concepts.
