Original Prompt

Create a 10–15 minute correction activity for 6th grade math on identifying quadrants from ordered pairs (NC.6.NS.6b). Provide 6–8 problems where a student labeled the wrong quadrant or axis. Students must identify the error, explain which sign caused the mistake, and give the correct quadrant or axis. Include at least one problem with zero as a coordinate.

This document focuses on the understanding and correct identification of quadrants within the coordinate plane. It includes a series of exercises aimed at analyzing errors made by students when labeling points on the coordinate system. The goal is to help learners identify incorrect quadrant placements, understand the role of coordinate signs in determining positions, and accurately define the correct quadrant or axis. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing common mistakes, such as misinterpreting the signs of x and y coordinates, and offers practical problems for practice and reflection.
