Christmas Coordinate Graphing Mystery Pictures

Plot the points and a Christmas picture appears: a Christmas tree, star, snowman, gingerbread cookie, stocking, bell, candy cane, present, mitten, ornament, reindeer and wreath.

Twelve pictures use the first quadrant (whole numbers 0 to 20) for grades 3-5, and six of them come again in four quadrants (-10 to 10) for grades 5-8. The four-quadrant pictures match their first-quadrant twins, so it's easy to differentiate in one class. A computer program read every ordered pair back out of the finished PDF, re-plotted it and matched it against the answer key.

What's included

• 18 student activities: an ordered-pair list with START and STOP marks and a tick box for each point, plus its own full-page graph
• 19 to 51 points per picture, from quick (star, bell) to longer (snowman, gingerbread, reindeer)
• Answer keys for every picture: color keys plus black-line ink-saver keys
