About The Coordinate Plane
What this skill is
The coordinate plane plots ordered pairs (x, y) in the first quadrant, moving right along the horizontal x-axis first, then up along the vertical y-axis.
When children learn it
Coordinate plane plotting is taught in 4th and 5th grade, aligned to Common Core standard 5.G.A.1.
Teaching Tips
- Remember rule: run across the hallway (x) before climbing up the stairs (y).
- Plot points precisely on line intersections.
Common Mistakes
- Reversing ordered pair coordinates by moving up the y-axis before moving right on the x-axis.
- Placing points in grid box spaces instead of on line intersections.
