Tack Me to the Plane

Tack Me to the Plane is a Grade 6 coordinate-plane game where playing cards generate signed ordered pairs. Black cards represent positive values, red cards negative values, and wild face cards can be used as any value including zero. Players draw an x-coordinate and y-coordinate, plot the point with an object marker and push pin, and then challenge the next player to identify its coordinates.

Use it in a small group when students are plotting and reading points in all four quadrants. The sign-by-suit system makes positive and negative coordinates visible before students even place the point.
