Battleship Coordinate Plane

Have you ever played the game Battleship before?

• Yes! I have played the actual board game.

• Yes! I have played a digital version.

• I am not sure

• Maybe

In the game Battleship you would place your boats on a grid.

NOT DIAGONAL

Draw a boat that covers 2 squares

Draw two boats that cover 3 squares

Draw a boat that covers 4 squares

Draw a boat that covers 5 squares

Each player has a HIDDEN grid of boats. You launch a torpedo at your partners boat by calling out a coordinate spot. Notice in this example that the opponent had called out A6 and missed.

What spot should your opponent call out in order to sink a boat?

(Pink spot 3 in a row)

• B2

• D8

• E10

• I7

Place a boat on the chart.

Plot the point (2, -4), (3, -4), and (4, -4)

Remember this is in the form of (x, y)

You first go left to right on the x axis

Then go UP or DOWN

Battleship is fun. We are in math class so we will use a coordinate plane grid for our boats. Place the points of the boat on the correct coordinates.
