CCSS Description: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
Have some fun with this emoji-themed worksheet that will see your learners following instructions to plot and connect coordinates in the first quadrant to reveal a hidden emoji.
You could even get your learners to design their own coordinate emoji picture, including writing the instructions for another classmate to follow?
We have created a series of worksheets for World Emoji Day, including four involving plotting coordinates. However, they can be used at any time of the year!
