Get your students excited about coordinates during Black History Month & martin luther king jr Day! These worksheets aim to plot a number of coordinates to find an inspiring message to celebrate some of the most influential African American leaders.

This can help motivate your students to try their best to get the message right by plotting the ordered pairs correctly and accurately.

This resource can be used as an activity, math centers, fast finishers, homework, substitute, "filler days", or end-of-the-year graphing activity! Completed messages will make great bulletin boards for your classroom or hallway.

Figures included:

• Mohamed Ali — "Don't count the days, make the days count."
• Martin Luther King Jr — " The time is always right to do what is right.”
• Malcolm X — "Education is the passport to the future."
• Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — "You can't win if you don't play as a unit."

Directions:

Students will plot letters on a coordinate plane, write each letter above its respective point, and then read the message by following the order of the plotted points from left to right.

A coordinate grid is included with this activity. Only the first quadrant is used therefore it can be used for beginners.

With this resource, you can challenge your class to test their understanding of coordinates to find the hidden message in a fun and meaningful way. So it's a great way of testing their skills.

The activity is No prep and is made to help you teach. It can be downloaded in seconds, all you have to do is print and share them with your class or for homeschooling, it is also great for bulletin board ideas. It's that easy. To make things easier, the answer keys are included.
