🌟 What Is This Activity?
This is an engaging math activity where students plot points on a coordinate plane to reveal a hidden picture — in this case, a
cute baby panda.
Students are given a list of ordered pairs (x, y) and must:
1. Plot each point on the grid.
2. Connect the points in order (usually with lines or by shading regions).
3. The completed drawing reveals a mystery image — here, a
panda.

🔍 Two Versions Shown:
#### 1.
First Quadrant Only (Left Side)
- Uses only
positive x and y values.
- Grid ranges from (0,0) to approximately (15,17).
- Ideal for beginners learning about coordinates in the first quadrant.
- Simpler, focused on positive numbers.
#### 2.
All Four Quadrants (Right Side)
- Includes
positive and negative x and y values.
- Grid spans from -7 to +7 on both axes.
- More advanced; teaches students how to navigate all four quadrants.
- Shows symmetry and more complex shapes.
---
✔ Educational Purpose:
- Reinforces understanding of the
coordinate plane.
- Practices plotting points accurately.
- Develops fine motor skills and attention to detail.
- Makes learning fun through art!

🧠 How to Use This Worksheet:
1.
Provide students with a list of coordinate points (not shown in this image).
2. Have them
plot each point on the grid.
3.
Connect the dots in order or shade areas as instructed.
4. The final result should be the
baby panda shown in the image.
> 💡 Example of a point: (5, 10) → move 5 units right on x-axis, then 10 up on y-axis.
---
🐼 Final Result:
Both versions create the same adorable
baby panda, but one uses only the first quadrant (easier), while the other uses all four quadrants (more challenging).
