This worksheet is a
coordinate graphing activity. The goal is to plot points on the grid and connect them with straight lines to reveal a hidden picture.
Here is how you solve it:
1.
Understand the Grid:
* The bottom line is the
x-axis (horizontal). The numbers go from 0 to 20.
* The side line is the
y-axis (vertical). The numbers go from 0 to 25.
* Every point has an address written as $(x, y)$. The first number tells you how far to go right. The second number tells you how far to go up.
2.
Plotting the Points:
* Look at the list of coordinates provided in your homework instructions (which usually accompanies this sheet).
* Find the first pair of numbers. For example, if it says $(4, 2)$, start at $0$, move
4 spaces to the right, and then
2 spaces up. Put a dot there.
* Continue this for every pair of numbers in the list.
3.
Connecting the Lines:
* Once you have all your dots plotted, use a ruler to connect them in the order they are listed.
* Usually, the list is broken into sections. When one section ends, you lift your pencil and start a new line for the next section.
4.
The Result:
* As you connect the lines, the shape will appear. Based on the title "He's the King!" and the outline shown in red, the final image is a
Lion.
Final Answer:
The task is to plot coordinate pairs on the grid and connect them to draw a
Lion.
