II teach mixed grade Pre-Algebra and Algebra classes to high-risk students. I used this activiy as an opener for a lesson on the coordinate plane. I projected the interactive on the whiteboard so that I could write additional information such as quadrant numbers, signs of coordinates, etc on the board as we transitioned into the lesson. No technical glitches to report.

One of my biggest frustrations as a pre-algebra teacher is that kids come to me without understanding the coordinate plane and I either have to re-teach it or undo their misconceptions. This is a fun game that would keep kids working on their coordinate plane skills.
