III- LEARNING STRATEGIES
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Review
Say: Last time we talk about signed numbers using a number line.
Ask: 1. What is the sign of the numbers to the right of 0 on the number line?
2. What about to the left of 0 on the number line?
2. Motivation
Game: Treasure Hunting
a. Group the students into 2 groups.
b. Give ach group a treasure map.
c. Let the students find the hidden treasure.
Ask: How did you find the game?
What did you do to find the hidden treasure?
 B. Lesson Proper
1. Presentation
The teacher will show a picture of two intersecting line.
Ask: What can you say about this picture?
Say: This morning we will be learning about plotting points on the coordinate
plane.
2. Discussion
Ask: what is a coordinate plane? Do you have any idea?
Ask: Where do you think is the first quadrant, second quadrant, third quadrant
and fourth quadrant?
Why do you think that coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants?
Ask: In a vertical line which direction is positive? Negative?
Ask: what is an ordered pair?
Ask: How to plot points?

Ask students to answer this on the board

1. You are at ( -5, 4 ). Move 2 units down and 3 units right. Where do you
land? In which quadrant this point located?

3. Cooperative Learning
Ask the students to work in pairs. Have them solve the problems.

1. The robot arm at the right is moving the computer chip from the point
(-2, 5) to a point three units up and seven units to the right. In which quadrant
will the chip be placed?
2.You are at ( 2, 3 ). Move 4 units left and 2 units up. Where do you land? In
which quadrant this point located?
 C. Post Activity
1. Generalization:
What is a coordinate plane?
How did we plot points on the plane?
How did we identify quadrants?
2. Application
Divide the class into two groups and have them perform the task.
Plot the following points on the coordinate plane and identify the
quadrants.
A. (-6, 2) B. (0, 6) C. (-, 5) D. (3, -4) E. (5, 3) F. (4,0)
G. (1, -1) H. (-2, -6) I. ( 1, 5 ) J. ( -3, -1 )

3. Valuing
Ask: What important value did you realize after doing the activity?

IV- Evaluation
1. Plot the points on the same plane and identify the quadrant in which each
point lies.
A. (4, 1) B. (-6, -3) C. (7, 8) D. (-2, 3) E. (4, 0) F. (3, -5) G. (-8, -5)
H. (9, 3) I. (3, -1) J. (-4, -2)

V- Assignment
Plot the points and write down on the table in which each point lies.
a. (0, -5) e. (8, -2) i. (-3, -3)
b. (-6, -3) f. (5, 8) j. (-1, 5)
c. (5, 4) g. (-4, 9) k. (-2, 6)
d. (9, 0) h. (-7, 0) l. (1, -7)
