Plotting points in the first quadrant

Plot and read ordered pairs in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points and interpreting coordinate values in context

Try this together

If you tell your child a car journey passes through grid points (2, 3), (5, 7), and (8, 4) on a map, can they plot those points and describe what the journey looks like?
