TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

III. Procedure

A. Review

Cartesian coordinate system (axes,

origin, quadrants)

B. Motivation

Ask the students:

Who among you here went to

Jollibee? Mc Donald? Roxas Avenue St.
Pastrana Plaza, Mabini St.
In Kalibo, where do Mc Donald
and Jollibee are located?

What is the importance of It will not mislead you to wrong location

knowing the exact location of a certain and also it can avoid hustle.
establishment/ place?

C. Presentation

Plotting a point on the Cartesian

plane is somewhat the same with
locating certain object, establishment,
place and etc.

Discuss:

 x-coordinate or abscissa- tells the

distance of the point from the
origin measured along the x-axis
  y- coordinate or ordinate – tells
the distance of the point from the
origin measured along the y-axis.
 Coordinates of the point- ordered
pair that represents a point

Example:

(2, 1) -------ordered pair(x,y)

x-coordinate
y-coordinate

To plot points in the Cartesian plane:

Determine the quadrant where the

point belongs.

 Locate the x-coordinate on the x-

axis then the y-coordinate on the
y-axis.
 Put a dot at the point where
these lines intersect.

Example: Plot the ff. points on the

plane with the given coordinates

P(1,4); L(3,4); A(4,2); N(3,0); E(1,0); S(0,2)

Ans: Polygon (Hexagon)
 Ask: If you connect all points
accordingly, what geometric
figure will you form?

 Now, if you are asked to

determine the coordinates of a
given point, how will you do it?

Be reminded the signs of the

coordinates of a point tell us in which
quadrant the point lies.

Q-I(+ , +); Q-II(- , +); Q-III(- , -) and Q-

IV(+ , -).

To determine the coordinates of a

given point: start in the point of origin
then move either left or right of the
origin (along the x-axis) depending on
the location of the point and lastly
move either upward or downward.

Example:
 Determine of the coordinates of
point S, I, and R.

D. Application(by group)

Instruction: Plot the following points

on the Cartesian plane and connect
the points accordingly to see the
picture behind. The first group that can
answer correctly will have 10 points
additional on your participation.

P(0,5); O(2,3); L(4,3); Y(2,1); N(4,-2),

O(0,-1); M(-4,-2); I(-2,1); A(-4,3); L(-2,3)

The picture is a STAR. Relate it to

Christmas.

E. Generalization

Let the students draw their own

generalization about the topic.

-How to plot points on the Cartesian

plane?
- How to determine the coordinates of
a given point on the plane?
- Do you think plotting points and
determining coordinates important?
Why? How?

II. Evaluation
A. Plot the ff. points.
L(2,6) ; Y(-3,2) ; N(-4,1)
 B. Determine the coordinates of each point on the plane.

III. Assignment. Answer mathematical challenge on page 243. Tell who hiding the
picture.
