II. Activity:
1. Draw any figure in the Cartesian plane that will reflect your own personality
then identify the ordered pairs that corresponds to the figure that you made.
III. Analysis:
1. How do you find the activity?
2. Are you able to plot the points correctly?
IV. Abstraction:
The Cartesian coordinate Plane
The Cartesian plane is sometimes referred to as the x-y plane or the coordinate
plane and is used to plot data pairs on a two-line graph. It is a coordinate system that
specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which
are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular directed lines,
measured in the same unit of length. The adjective Cartesian refers to the French
mathematician and philosopher René Descartes who published this idea in 1637.
 Points on the Cartesian plane are called "ordered pairs," which become extremely
important when illustrating the solution to equations with more than one data point.
Simply put, though, the Cartesian plane is really just two number lines where one is
vertical and the other horizontal and both form right angles with one another. Each
reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system, and the point
where they meet is its origin, usually at ordered pair (0, 0). The coordinates can also
be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two
axes, expressed as signed distances from the origin. The horizontal line here is
referred to the x-axis and values that come first in ordered pairs are plotted along
this line while the vertical line is known as the y-axis, where the second number of
ordered pairs is plotted. An easy way to remember the order of operations is that we
read from left to right, so the first line is the horizontal line or the x-axis, which also
comes first alphabetically. Because Cartesian Planes are formed from two to-scale
lines intersecting at right angles, the resulting image yields a grid broken into four
sections known as quadrants. These four quadrants represent a full set of positive
numbers on both the x- and y-axis wherein the positive directions are upward and to
the right, while the negative directions are downward and to the left. Cartesian
coordinates are abstractions that have a multitude of possible applications in the real
world. However, three constructive steps are involved in superimposing coordinates
on a problem application. 1) Units of distance must be decided defining the spatial
size represented by the numbers used as coordinates. 2) An origin must be assigned
to a specific spatial location or landmark, and 3) the orientation of the axes must be
defined using available directional cues for all but one axis. For example, the
Cartesian plane can be used in maps in locating and finding the distance of one place
to another. Engineers also use Cartesian plane in designing buildings.

V. Application:
The teacher will ask the students on how they will apply the Cartesian
plane in real life situations.

VI. Generalization:
The teacher will ask some students to generalize the lesson.

b. (12,1),(1,-12)
c. (7,8),(-11,-3),(-4,9)
d. (0.6,-1),(-0.5,7),(2,0.5)
2. Locate each of the following points in one Cartesian coordinate plane.
a. A(2, -3)
b. B(-4, 2)
