welcome students  

day one

Greetings Students:

You should be reading this in the computer lab and you should have access to your own computer. Over the next two days, you will learn more about identifying and plotting ordered pairs on all four quadrants of a coordinate plane. Follow all of your directions carefully. You will investigate new sights, learn new vocabulary words, watch a video, practice with games and applets, take a quiz, and hand in an original design. 
Please use Internet Explorer as your browser for the best results.

Hopefully you finished this assignment today. Your homework for tonight is to think about and sketch a simple picture that you will be drawing on grid paper tomorrow. It will cover all four quadrants and must be made up of at least fifteen ordered pairs representing coordintate points. Click on the link for graph paper and print it out to use to draw your picture.  Be sure to use points on the lines and put the ordered pairs next to the points.

 Here's an Example:
