In this video lesson, students extend the coordinate axes to expand the coordinate plane so that negative numbers appear on both the vertical and horizontal axes. They learn that the crossing axes create four regions of the coordinate plane, called quadrants. Students extend their understanding of the coordinate plane to points with negative coordinates. They gain experience by choosing and plotting points in order to hit targets or to maneuver through mazes in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
