    Plot coordinates from word problems

    Students will learn how to plot points having whole number coordinates, such as \((2,\,3),\) from word problems. Students will also learn how to determine the distance between two such points, when the two points share the same \(x\) or \(y\)-coordinate.

    Watch these Khan Academy videos:

    • Coordinate plane graphing word problem
    • Interpreting plotted points

    Do these Khan Academy exercises:

    • Distance between points in first quadrant
    • Coordinate plane word problems (quadrant 1)
