3 Points

3 Points is a Grade 5 coordinate plane game that uses dominoes to generate ordered pairs in the first quadrant. Players draw a domino, identify its x- and y-coordinates, and plot the point on a shared coordinate plane while the other players check the placement. Because every turn connects an ordered pair to a visible location, students repeatedly practice reading coordinates and graphing accurately.

This small-group game works well when you want coordinate-plane practice to include both plotting and peer checking. The race to create three adjacent points gives students a reason to watch every plotted coordinate, not just their own.
