Graphing Integers on the Coordinate Grid

6th Grade Math » Unit: Coordinate Plane

Carla Seeger

New Haven, CT

Environment: Urban

Big Idea:

Each point on a coordinate grid can be described with a pair of coordinate values (x, y) that describe the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) distance from the origin.
