Represent Rational Numbers on the Coordinate Plane
Pick up where we left off
Where we left off
Our goal: With my small group, I can plot and identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs — one step at a time, with support.
The big idea: Always start at the origin (0, 0), move right/left first, then up/down.
Model to copy — Watch me
- I will plot the point (5, 4). The 5 is the x-coordinate, and the 4 is the y-coordinate.
- I start at the origin, which is (0, 0).
- First I move 5 units to the right along the x-axis.
- Then I move 4 units up. I place my dot. That is the point (5, 4).
Start here
You did these with your group. Now do them on your own — the model above is yours to copy.
- 1
Same stepsFinish what the group started. Use the model above, step for step.
Let's try together: Now let's plot (2, 1). Where do we start? At the origin (0, 0). How far do we move right? The first number is 2, so we move 2 right. How far do we move up? The second number is 1, so we move 1 up and place the dot.My first step is ___ , because the problem asks for ___ .

You answered these out loud. Now write them.
Answer, then say how you know — the reason is the part that counts.

Think it throughIn the ordered pair (3, 6), what does the 3 tell the drone?
- AMove 3 units horizontally, along the x-axis
- BMove 3 units vertically
- CFly for 3 minutes
- DLand at altitude 3
Why is that the answer?
I chose ___ because ___ .
- 6
Think it throughWhat shape does the flight path make?
- AA triangle
- BA square
- CA straight line
- DA circle
How do you know?
I chose ___ because ___ .
- 7
Think it throughWhich point is farthest to the right?
- A(8, 2)
- B(3, 6)
- C(0, 0)
- DThey are all the same
Explain your thinking.
I chose ___ because ___ .

Back to the modelYou plotted a triangle. How did the ordered pairs tell you exactly where to place each point?
The first number in the ordered pair tells me ___ and the second number tells me ___. The point (5, 4) means ___.

Words and reasoning
Word bank · Banco de palabras
Use the words
Fill each blank with a word from the bank.
- Plot a point by moving to its ___-coordinate first, then its ___-coordinate.
- The grid made by a horizontal and a vertical number line is the ___.
- Two numbers (x, y) that tell the location of a point are an ___.
- The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis cross is the ___.
Explain the thinking

Find the mistakeAnother student made this exact mistake in this lesson. Explain why it is wrong, then write what they should have done.
The mistake: A common mistake in Graph on the Coordinate Plane is swapping the order of the coordinates — moving up/down first instead of right/left first. - 10
Say moreYou need to plot (4, 2). Walk your partner through every move you make from the origin, using the words x-axis and y-axis.
I move ___ units along the x-axis.

Last check
These two come from Lesson 7.4. If they are shaky, that is the lesson to revisit — not this one.

Show what you knowQuick check — you've got this: Point P is located 6 units right and 3 units up from the origin. What ordered pair names point P?
- A(6, 3)
- B(3, 6)
- C(6, 0)
- D(0, 3)
Explain your choice.
I know it is ___ because ___ .

From Lesson 7.4Quick check — you've got this: Which list shows the integers in order from LEAST to GREATEST?
- A-2, -5, 0, 3, 7
- B7, 3, 0, -2, -5
- C-5, -2, 0, 3, 7
- D0, -2, -5, 3, 7

From Lesson 7.4Order the temperatures from coldest to warmest.
- A−7, −4, −1, 2, 5

- D5, 2, −1, −4, −7
Be honest — this tells your teacher what to do next
| I can… | Not yet | Getting there | Got it |
|---|---|---|---|
| I can plot and identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs — one step at a time, with support. | |||
| I can explain why it works: Always start at the origin (0, 0), move right/left first, then up/down. | |||
| I can talk through each step out loud using a sentence frame and the lesson's key words. |
