Introduction

There is a knock at your door. You open the door and see a little girl sobbing.

She says “ detective please help me. I cannot find my dog anywhere. Could you please help me find him.”

She gives you a folder with clues of where the dog is. She mentions she found the folder in the dog’s doghouse.

Task

Your goal is to find the missing dog. For every clue, draw the coordinate

plane and shade or plot a point where you think the dog might be.

Remember to label the x-axis and the y-axis.

Also, label the four quadrants.

Task

After you analyze the clues and find the position of the missing dog, you will draw the coordinate system and label where the missing dog is located.

On a separate piece of paper, write what you have learned. Minimum of one paragraph. Write another paragraph explaining how the coordinate system is used in real life.

Process • Next, you will review the four quadrants

• click on the graph to see the video– After you read the information come

back to the PowerPoint.–Now you will master your quadrant

knowledge. Click on the basketball to begin. •After you finish the game come back

to the PowerPoint.

Process

• Finally you will review reflections on the x and y axis. Only read the first two sections.

• Click on the graph to begin.• After you finish reading come

Clues • The dog found a piece of meat at (3,5).• Then the dog fell asleep. (3,5) reflected on

the x-axis. • Now the dog is at the park. The point where

he is now is a reflection on the y-axis of the previous point.

• The dog is on a point where the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative. What quadrant is he in?
