The Coordinate Plane and Number Patterns

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (X,Y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair is called the x-coordinate, which tells you how far to move on the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair is called the y-coordinate, which tells you how far to move on the y-axis.

Front

How do you graph the point (3,4)?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 4 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0,0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What is a number pattern?

Back

A number pattern is a sequence of numbers that follow a specific rule or formula.

Front

What is the rule for the pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8?

Back

The rule is to add 2 to the previous number.
