Coordinate Graphing, or Drawing by Coordinates, Math Worksheet ... - Free Printable

You're correct — this is a "Drawing with Coordinates" worksheet. The task is to plot the given (x, y) coordinate pairs on the grid and connect them in order to reveal hidden pictures.

---

## 🎯 Goal:
Plot each point from lists A and B, then connect them in the order listed to draw shapes (likely animals or objects).

---

## ✔ Step-by-Step Solution:

🔢 Understanding Coordinates:

Each pair `(x, y)` means:
- x = horizontal position (along the bottom axis, left to right)
- y = vertical position (along the left axis, bottom to top)

Example: `(3, 1)` → go right 3 units, up 1 unit.

## 🖍️ Let’s Plot List A First:

List A has 25 points. We’ll plot and connect them in order.

Here are the points in order:

1. (10, 2)
2. (10, 1)
3. (3, 1)
4. (3, 3)
5. (2, 4)
6. (1, 7)
7. (2, 9)
8. (6, 9)
9. (6, 7)
10. (7, 7)
11. (7, 13)
12. (6, 13)
13. (6, 10)
14. (4, 10)
15. (4, 9)
16. (3, 6)
17. (3, 2)
18. (10, 2) ← back to start? (This closes the shape)
19. (10, 6)
20. (9, 9)
21. (9, 10)
22. (7, 10)
23. (7, 9)
24. (9, 9) ← already plotted
25. (12, 9)
26. (14, 7)
27. (13, 7)
28. (10, 3)

> 💡 Notice: Some points repeat (like (9,9)) — that’s okay; it just means you retrace or pause there.

When you connect these in order, you’ll see they form a butterfly (the large one near the center of the grid). You can see the wings, body, and antennae taking shape!

## 🦋 Now List B:

List B has only 4 points:

1. (10, 6)
2. (12, 8)
3. (10, 6) ← same as first — probably a small line or dot
4. (12, 8) ← same as second

Wait — this seems like a mistake or maybe a very simple shape.

Actually, looking at the image, List B likely corresponds to the small butterfly in the upper right corner.

But let’s check the coordinates:

- (10,6) → middle-right
- (12,8) → slightly higher and right

If you connect (10,6) → (12,8), that’s a diagonal line — but butterflies need more points.

✔ Actually, looking at the image, the small butterfly in the top right is already drawn — so perhaps List B is meant to be connected after List A, or maybe it's a separate small shape.

But wait — (10,6) and (12,8) are also part of List A! So maybe List B is redundant or meant for a tiny detail.

➡️ In reality, List A alone draws the main butterfly. List B might be an error or meant for a tiny wing tip — but since only 2 unique points, it doesn’t form much.

---

## 🧩 What You Should Do:

1. Grab a pencil and ruler.
2. On the grid, find each point from List A in order.
3. Mark the dot.
4. Connect each dot to the next with a straight line.
5. When done, you’ll have drawn a butterfly!
6. For List B, plot (10,6) and (12,8) — maybe connect them if needed, but it’s likely just reinforcing part of the butterfly.

---

## 🖼️ Final Result:

By connecting the dots in List A, you’ll reveal the large butterfly shown in the middle of the grid. The other drawings (sun, small butterfly, plant, etc.) are already pre-drawn — this activity is focused on drawing the main butterfly using coordinates.

---

## ✔ Answer Summary:

> Plot and connect the coordinates in List A in order to draw a butterfly. List B contains only two points and likely adds a small detail or is redundant. The main drawing task is completed by following List A.
