Coordinate Points of a Graph
In this worksheet, students are given a graph with plotted points. They are asked to identify the coordinate points from the graph.
Curated OER
Find the Shape
Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals
(square,...
