Coordinate Puzzles

Saturday, September 03, 2005
We are learning about coordinate geometry.

Some resources include:
Cartesian Coordinates
Cartesian Coordinate System
Shodor Lessons
UNC Coordinate info

To ease into it, we are doing some practice on localizing points on a plane. One way to do this is with puzzles.

One example would be to work with the following number matrix: (5,0), (5,5), (0,5), (0,0), (5,0). The points are plotted with lines between them (like connect the dot) on the cartesian plane.

I have included below a number matrix for a surprise puzzle. If you figure it out post an image of your drawing in a comment!
