This is a coordinate graphing activity. The goal is to plot points on the grid and connect them to reveal a picture. Since the red lines are already drawn for you, the "solution" is understanding how the coordinates match the drawing.
Here is how the coordinates work for this lion:
1.
Understand the Axes:
* The horizontal line at the bottom is the
X-axis (numbers 0–20). This tells you how far right to go.
* The vertical line on the left is the
Y-axis (numbers 0–25). This tells you how far up to go.
2.
How to Plot a Point:
* A coordinate looks like this:
(x, y).
* First, find the
x number on the bottom. Move your finger up from there.
* Second, find the
y number on the side. Move your finger across from there.
* Where your fingers meet is the point.
3.
Checking the Lion's Features:
*
The Nose: The triangle nose is centered around x=9. The tip of the nose is at
(9, 17). The corners are at
(8, 18) and
(10, 18).
*
The Eyes: The left eye is a square. Its corners are at
(6, 19),
(8, 19),
(8, 21), and
(6, 21).
*
The Tail: The tail goes up high on the right side. The top curve of the tail reaches approximately
(18, 20).
To complete this homework:
If you have a list of numbers (coordinates) that came with this sheet, you would place a dot at each pair of numbers and then connect the dots in order with a ruler. The result will be the lion shown in red.
Final Answer:
The task is a coordinate plotting exercise. To solve it, locate each (x, y) pair from your data list on the grid: move along the bottom axis to the x-number, then move up to the y-number. Mark that spot and connect the dots in order to recreate the lion image.
