How to use this sheet
- Have the child say "along the hall, then up the stairs": the x number first, then the y number.
- For four quadrants, have the child say the signs of each point before plotting it.
- For distance, count the squares between points on the same line, then check by subtracting.
Common mistakes
- Plotting (3, 5) as (5, 3). The first number goes across.
- Starting the count at 1 instead of at the origin.
- Getting the distance wrong across an axis, such as from −2 to 3. Count the squares: it is 5, not 1.
