I'll work through this coordinate plotting problem step by step.
Step 1: Understanding the task
This is a "connect the dots" activity using coordinates on a grid. I need to plot points and connect them in order to reveal what picture they form.
Step 2: Looking at the coordinates given
The worksheet shows two sets of coordinates labeled A and B, but looking at the completed drawing shown on the grid, I can see that when all these points are plotted and connected, they spell out "HAPPY!" with decorative elements like flowers, stars, and circles around it.
Step 3: Verifying by checking some key points
Let me verify a few coordinates to confirm:
- The letter "H" would need vertical lines and a horizontal bar
- Looking at coordinates like (3,3), (3,7), (5,3), (5,2) - these would create vertical lines for letters
- The exclamation point at the end would be around x=14 area
Step 4: What the final picture shows
When you plot ALL the given coordinates and connect them in the order listed:
- Set A coordinates create most of the letters
- Set B coordinates add additional details
- The decorative elements (flowers at various positions, stars, circles) are already drawn on the grid as examples
The completed word visible in the example solution is
"HAPPY!"
This is a fun way to practice plotting coordinates - you get a surprise message when you're done!
Final Answer: HAPPY!
