Coordinate Graphing Activity: Draw the Snowman by Plotting Points

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a list of coordinate pairs. Our job is to plot each point on the grid and then connect them in order — like drawing with dots!

The coordinates are:
(6, 12), (9, 11), (9, 9), (8, 8), (10, 7), (11, 8), (12, 7), (11, 5), (11, 3), (10, 1), (4, 1),
(3, 3), (3, 5), (2, 6), (2, 7), (4, 7), (6, 8), (5, 9), (5, 11), (7, 13), (6, 14), (8, 14), (9, 11)

Note: The last point (9, 11) connects back to an earlier point — that’s okay! It probably closes part of the shape.

Let’s go one by one and imagine plotting them:

Start at (6, 12) → that’s near the top middle.

Then (9, 11) → move right and down a little.

Then (9, 9) → straight down from there.

Then (8, 8) → left and down.

Then (10, 7) → right and down.

Then (11, 8) → right and up a bit.

Then (12, 7) → right and down.

Then (11, 5) → left and down.

Then (11, 3) → straight down.

Then (10, 1) → left and down to the bottom.

Then (4, 1) → all the way left along the bottom.

Then (3, 3) → up and left a bit.

Then (3, 5) → straight up.

Then (2, 6) → left and up.

Then (2, 7) → straight up.

Then (4, 7) → right.

Then (6, 8) → right and up.

Then (5, 9) → left and up.

Then (5, 11) → straight up.

Then (7, 13) → right and up.

Then (6, 14) → left and up to the very top.

Then (8, 14) → right across the top.

Then (9, 11) → down and right — which we’ve seen before! So it connects back to make a closed shape.

If you draw this carefully, connecting each dot in order, you’ll see it forms the outline of a snowman — just like in the “ANSWER” box shown in the image.

You can check your work by comparing your drawn lines to the answer picture: head, body, arms, hat, etc.

Final Answer:
When you plot and connect all the given coordinates in order, you will draw a snowman wearing a hat, with buttons, arms, and surrounded by snowflakes — matching the mystery picture shown in the answer key.
