 * 10) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will understand how to plot an ordered pair on the coordinate plan and how to name a point on the coordinate plane.
 * 11) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will plot provided ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect them to create a duplicate of the picture provided.
 * 12) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will connect the skill of naming and plotting ordered pairs to naming and plotting points of latitude and longitude on maps in order to find and name cities.
 * 13) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Materials
 * 14) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Worksheets, Computers, Crayons, Colored Pencils, Internet Access, Pencils and Erasers
 * 15) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Center Activity Description
 * 16) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Center 1: Graphing Art (Math to Art)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Purpose: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will practice locating and connecting ordered pairs on a pre-printed worksheet. This center for practicing the skills required to find and graph points on a coordinate plane, connect the ordered pairs as they are placed. The center will be self-correcting, in that a final picture will be provided. If theirs does not match the picture, they must try again. Once the picture has been formed, they may use crayons or color pencils to color the picture.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student Instructions: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">You will be given multiple sets of points. In each set of points you need to connect them in the order you plot them. DO NOT connect the last point to the first. After each point, check it off to remind yourself where you stopped. Check the picture to make sure you are on the right track! You may color your picture when all the points are plotted.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Center 2: Where is…? (Math to Science/Geography)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Purpose: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will connect what they have learned in reading and locating ordered pairs to locating major cities on a world map using latitude and longitude. This will connect their math knowledge with that of their Science/Geography knowledge. Students will be provided with a map with lines marked and numbered. They will be asked to list what city is located at different points on the map. They will have a worksheet to record their findings.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student Instructions: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">You will have two worksheets to complete. Do your best to complete both completely and correctly! In each worksheet, you need to use Latitude (which is like our y) and Longitude ( which is like our x) to find different cities. Sometimes you’ll be asked for the ordered pair of the city, sometimes you’ll be given the ordered pair and have to name the city. Start with the worksheet labeled “One” and work your way through!
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Center 3: Graphing Games (Math to Technology)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Purpose: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will use classroom computers to play one or more of the following games. Each game is designed to help them practice plotting ordered pairs and/or naming points on the coordinate plane.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student Instructions: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">You will be spending some time playing the following games. The games are all about what we have learned plotting ordered pairs and naming points on the coordinate plane. Feel free to play just one game or hop between all four! Have fun!
