WHO: Designed for students in upper elementary, middle school and high school.

WHAT: GraphX coordinate graphing activity that involves solving math problems and using a coordinate graph to create a picture.

WHEN: Can be used in conjunction with any algebra or geometry unit as a review or warmup activity. Can also be used as the main lesson in a coordinate graphing unit.

WHERE: Requires a pen or pencil.

WHY: Aligned with the problem solving Common Core MathWHY: Aligned with the problem-solving Common Core Math standards and helps build perseverance with math.

Using graph paper and going from top to bottom of each column in order,

plot the points and connect them until you reach STOP. Pick up your

pencil and go to the next START to create the next line in the picture.

Continue until you have plotted all of the points.
