GROUP 2: THE STAR
Plot and label the given points on the Cartesian Plane then connect the dots in
alphabetical order to form a certain figure.
GROUP3: SPOT MY LOCATION!
Activity 3: SPOT MY LOCATION!
(Integrated to Social Studies & Science)
Direction: Based on the illustration below, give your answers for each
question.
This activity will enable you to give the coordinates of the point where a
certain place is located.
1. A (2, 2) 6. F (-2,0)
2. B (0, 0) 7. G (-4,2)
3. C (1, -3) 8. H (-2,2)
4. D (-1, -2) 9. I (1, 4)
5.E (-3, -3) 10. J (0, 2)
Guide Questions:
1. Joey indicated that the
Bayugan City
can be found at coordinates (-1
1
2
,0).
Do you agree with Joey? Why
or why not?
2. Angelo insisted that the
Butuan City
can be found at coordinates
(−1, −1).
Do you agree with Angelo?
3. Karen insisted that the Siargao
Islands
can be found at Quadrant I.
Is Karen correct?
4. What is the importance of
knowing the
exact location of a certain
place?
5. How can the Rectangular
Coordinate System be used in
a real-life situation?
Possible Answers:
1. No, because Bayugan City is located at (0, -1
1
2
)
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Location is very important, this is because it
enables us to know the precise place of an
archeological site, human settlement, town,
village or city. An absolute location is a depiction
of the exact site on an objective coordinate
system i.e grid which mostly is the longitude and
latitude on the map.
5. The first application of the rectangular coordinate
system is through measuring things. We can
measure plots of lands, houses, etc. It provides
accurate insights on the measurement of our
geography. Most importantly, it is helpful in
predicting hazards (e.g. typhoon & landslide) and
issuing warning to us.
