1. Understand the Question

explain

Plot (-3, -4). Which quadrant is it in, and how do the negative coordinates change the directions you move from the origin?

Your job: Answer the question. Use math evidence. Explain how the evidence proves your answer.Responde la pregunta. Usa evidencia matemática. Explica cómo la evidencia demuestra tu respuesta.

2. Plan Your Math Words

Check at least two words you will use.

Quadrant — One of the four parts of a coordinate grid, numbered I to IV.Cuadrante — Una de las cuatro partes de una cuadrícula de coordenadas, numeradas I a IV. Negative coordinate — A coordinate less than zero. It means left or below the center point.Coordenada negativa — Una coordenada menor que cero. Significa a la izquierda o debajo del centro. Reflection — A flipped, mirror image of a point across a line.Reflexión — Una imagen reflejada de un punto al otro lado de una línea. Axis — A line on the grid. The x-axis goes across; the y-axis goes up.Eje — Una línea en la cuadrícula. El eje x va de lado; el eje y va hacia arriba. Integer — Whole numbers and their opposites, like -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.Número entero — Números enteros y sus opuestos, como -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.

Say it first: Say your idea to a partner or quietly to yourself before you write.Di tu idea a un compañero o en voz baja antes de escribir.

A negative x means I move ___.Una x negativa significa que me muevo ___.

3. Build Your Explanation

Model the parts: This model shows the parts of an explanation. It does not answer your writing question.

Claim: The signs of the coordinates tell me the quadrant because ___.

Evidence: Student matches sign combinations to quadrants (e.g., (+,+) is I, (-,+) is II).

Reasoning: This evidence connects the definition of quadrant to the mathematical claim.
