Graphing Points to Create a Map

The video tutorial explains how to create a map using a coordinate plane. It begins by introducing the concept of maps and how points on a coordinate plane can represent locations. The tutorial then explains how to interpret east and north coordinates, using examples like the city center, museum, library, and school. It provides step-by-step instructions on plotting these locations on a coordinate plane, starting from the origin and moving along the x and y axes. The lesson concludes with a summary of how to graph coordinates to represent a map.

What is one way to represent locations on a map?

• Using a compass

• Drawing points on a coordinate plane

• Using a globe

• Drawing a sketch

If a location is described as 3 East and 4 North, what are its coordinates?

• (3, -4)

• (3, 4)

• (-3, 4)

• (4, 3)

What does the x-coordinate represent in a coordinate plane?

• Westward movement

• Eastward movement

• Southward movement

• Northward movement

How do you start plotting a point on a coordinate plane?

• From any random point

• From the origin

• From the bottom right corner

• From the top left corner

What is the first step in plotting a location on a coordinate plane?

• Mark the origin

• Move vertically along the y-axis

• Move horizontally along the x-axis

• Draw a circle

How do you find the location of the library on the coordinate plane?

• Move 2 spaces right and 5 spaces up

• Move 5 spaces right and 2 spaces up

• Move 2 spaces left and 5 spaces down

• Move 5 spaces left and 2 spaces down

What are the coordinates of the school?

• (-4, 8)

• (4, -8)

• (8, 4)

• (4, 8)
