Graphing points

The topic  is under the 5th Grade Math Mission. This exercise introduces the idea of plotting points on the Cartesian coordinate plane.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Graph the point: This problems provides a Cartesian coordinate grid and a point. The student is asked to move the orange dot from the origin to the coordinates provided.Gp1.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges because the only possibly sneaky part about graphing is keeping track of which direction to move first (right, then up). The speed badges are also easy because the manipulative is simple to maneuver.
 * 1) It seems a little easier if you go the larger coordinate value first, then count for the other coordinate.
