Letter on Point
coordinate plane · graphing ordered pairs
To graph points on a coordinate plane [5.G.A.1].
Letter on Point is a Grade 5 coordinate-plane game where playing cards generate ordered pairs. Students draw one red card for the x-coordinate and one black card for the y-coordinate, plot the point on a shared coordinate plane, and mark it with the first letter of their name. Each turn reinforces the order of coordinates and the connection between a pair of numbers and a location on the grid.
Use it for partner or small-group graphing practice after students know how to read the x- and y-axes. The shared grid makes it easy to compare plotted points and catch coordinate reversals.
