126 Math Facts

Lesson 126: Locating and Graphing Points on a Coordinate Graph

Important Vocabulary:

Ordered Pair: the two numbers in parenthesis that tell where to find a point on a coordinate graph

Origin: (0,0) the starting point on the graph

X axis: the bottom, horizontal line of the graph This is the first number in an ordered pair.

Y axis: the left, vertical line of the graph This is the second number in an ordered pair.

Each point on a coordinate graph has a special address that tells us where it is located on the graph, just like your house address tells people where your house is located on the street.

The blue circle on the coordinate graph is located at (5, 3). If you start at the origin, first move 5 to the right on the x axis. Then, move 3 up on the y axis. You’ve found it!

❏ Please watch these videos to help you learn about locating and graphing points on a coordinate graph: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/basic-geo/basic-geo-coord-plane/coordinate-plane-quad-1/v/introduction-to-the-coordinate-plane

Find Lesson Worksheet 126. Lesson Worksheet 126

❏ In the parentheses, write in the x and y coordinates that help us find the smiley face on the graph. ❏ Repeat this for the star and the heart. ❏ Now, draw a triangle on your graph at (4,3) ❏ Draw a circle on your graph at (1,2). ❏ Draw a square on your graph at (2,0).

For fun, keep going! Can you use ordered pairs to place other objects of your choosing on the graph? Try this with someone at home.

Worksheet 126 A

Religion ❏ Today we will explore the concept of amazement. We will learn about the visit to Jesus’ tomb on

Easter morning. We will describe how Jesus’ followers felt about Jesus’ resurrection.

❏ Start today by singing an Alleluia song that is familiar to you or your family. Then read the scripture verse from yesterday’s reading:

“I have seen Jesus! He is Alive” Based on John 20:18

❏ Sometimes we are amazed when we see something big and beautiful (for example, a waterfall, a huge mountain, or fireworks). Sometimes we are amazed when we experience something that we did not expect to happen. Talk about a time that you felt amazed.

❏ Look at p. 350-351 in your religion packets or see or print Religion p. 350

“What do the men appear to be doing?” That’s right, they are looking inside a cave or tomb. Read this page to see how Mary Magdalene is amazed and how the Apostles Peter, and John felt when they discovered that Jesus’ tomb was empty.

❏ The Apostles find out that God has raised Jesus to new life! Jesus had been raised from the dead! This is the Resurrection! In your notebook answer this question:

How do you think Jesus’ followers felt about this wonderful news?

❏ In your notebook, make a T chart with four prefix headings. Try to come up with at least 4 words with that prefix to put under each heading.

Example: un re pre dis

unreal refill prepay displease

❏ The prefix usually forms a separate syllable from the base word. Now, use those words and break the word into parts. Read one part at a time, and then read the parts together.
