Activities 11

This document provides instructions for finding the abscissa and ordinate values of points on a Cartesian plane. Students are given a graph paper with points and asked to locate the x- and y-axis values for each point. To find these coordinates, perpendicular lines are drawn from a point to the x- and y-axes, with the x-axis intersection being the abscissa and y-axis intersection being the ordinate. The activity teaches students how to locate points on a graph and read their Cartesian coordinates.

  • Activity 11: Details the objectives, required materials, construction methods, demonstration, observation table, and the aim of finding the values in a Cartesian plane.
  • Application: Illustrates how the activity helps in understanding map coordinates using a visual figure.

Activity 11

OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED


To find the values of abscissae and Cardboard, white paper, graph paper
ordinates of various points given in a with various given points, geometry
cartesian plane. box, pen/pencil.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a cardboard of a convenient size and paste a white paper on it.
2. Paste the given graph paper alongwith various points drawn on it [see Fig. 1].
3. Look at the graph paper and the points whose abcissae and ordinates are to
be found.

DEMONSTRATION
To find abscissa and ordinate of a point, say A, draw perpendiculars AM and AN
from A to x-axis and y-axis, respectively. Then abscissa of A is OM and ordinate
of A is ON. Here, OM = 2 and AM = ON = 9. The point A is in first quadrant.
Coordinates of A are (2, 9).
