Coordinate Plane Picture Graphing: Lobster (1st Quadrant & Four Quadrants)

Students plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect points in sequence to create a lobster picture in both the first quadrant and all four quadrants. What's Included: • Coordinate plane graphing activity: Lobster (1st quadrant) • Coordinate plane graphing activity: Lobster (four quadrants) • Ordered-pair coordinate lists with START/STOP points and directions to connect and color Learning Objectives: • Plot ordered pairs accurately on a coordinate plane • Distinguish between first-quadrant coordinates and four-quadrant coordinates (including negatives) • Follow multi-step directions to connect points in the correct order • Reinforce understanding of x- and y-values in coordinate pairs Suggested Use: Use as independent practice, a math center, early finisher work, or a review activity for coordinate graphing. Students plot each point in order, connect to the next point (using START/STOP breaks), and color the completed picture.
