Lost Cove Mission
Captain Vega's Coordinates
You are the navigator on Captain Vega's expedition. Instead of 'X marks the spot,' she hid the treasure route as ordered pairs scrawled across the first quadrant of her chart, using only positive coordinates. Plot every point in the right order and the lost cove treasure is yours.

Write About the Math
How do ordered pairs help the drone navigate? What shape does the flight path make?¿Cómo ayudan los pares ordenados a que el dron navegue? ¿Qué forma hace la ruta de vuelo?
Say your answer to a partner first. Then write it, using at least two of these words:
Model: We start at the origin and move along the x-axis first because ___. — Student states the x-coordinate is the sideways (horizontal) move and the y-coordinate is the up/down (vertical) move, both starting from the origin.
