What educators are saying

I used this as a learning opportunity after students had completed an assessment. They enjoyed working individually and were engaged. After all had finished the assessment, they were excited to collaborate to complete the activity. Thank you!

— DEANN C.

Rated 5 out of 5

I actually used this at the end of my unit of ratios (after we also learned coordinate planes). This was perfect because they were able to use their knowledge of both units to solve the murder.

Description

This low-prep Plotting Points on a Coordinate Grid Activity is an engaging way for students to practice graphing ordered pairs in all 4 Quadrants! With printable & digital options, this resource is designed to meet a variety of classroom needs.

Students become suspects after another passenger on the train is found murdered and they must interpret graphs and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid to clear their name and solve the mystery!

Students are given character cards when they enter the room and assume the role of a train passenger. Their relaxing family trip is interrupted when a fellow traveler is murdered. They must work through the clue/worksheet to clear their own name and figure out who among them is the guilty one!

Standards

CCSS5.G.A.1

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., 𝘹-axis and 𝘹-coordinate, 𝘺-axis and 𝘺-coordinate).

CCSS5.G.A.2

Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

CCSS6.NS.C.6b

Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
