📍 Part 1: Plotting and Identifying Coordinates

1. What are the coordinates of point A located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

(2, 3)

(3, 2)

(-3, 2)

(3, -2)

2. Which point is located in the third quadrant?

(4, 5)

(-2, 3)

(-3, -4)

(1, -2)

3. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below: A(2, 3), B(-1, 4), C(-3, -2), D(4, -1)

4. If point P is at (-2, 5), what quadrant is it located in?

Point P is in the _____________ quadrant.

🧭 Part 2: Coordinate Problem Solving

5. A treasure map shows the treasure at coordinates (3, -4). Starting from the origin (0, 0), describe the directions to reach the treasure.

6. Three vertices of a rectangle are at A(1, 2), B(4, 2), and C(4, 5). What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex D?

The coordinates of vertex D are: ( ____ , ____ )

7. Point M is at (-3, 1). If you move 5 units to the right and 2 units down, what are the new coordinates?

(2, -1)

(-8, 3)

(2, 3)

(-3, -1)

8. Calculate the distance between points E(0, 3) and F(4, 0) by counting grid squares.

🎯 Part 3: Advanced Applications

9. A school playground has equipment at these coordinates: Swings at (-2, 3), Slide at (4, 1), and Monkey bars at (-1, -2). Which equipment is closest to the basketball court at (0, 0)?

10. Create a simple shape by connecting these points in order: (1, 1) → (3, 1) → (3, 3) → (1, 3) → back to (1, 1). What shape have you created and what is its area?

Shape: _________________ Area: _______ square units
