Celebrate Valentine's Day with this fun practice activity! Your students will put their knowledge of coordinate systems, coordinate graphing, and ordered pairs to work creating a mystery picture with a seasonal theme for Valentine's Day. Students plot points from a list of ordered pairs and then connect the dots to form a figure, which turns out to be a bee with the message "Bee Mine". This activity is easier than the Cupid Coordinate Graphing activity.
The coordinate plane includes positive numbers only. A key is included to show how the finished figure should appear. There are a total of 4 pages included: a list of ordered pairs, a blank graph, a completed graph answer key, and a colored sample.
If you like the activity, please leave feedback and check out my other products. I have many holiday themed resources and ordered pairs practice activities in my catalog!

There were many mistakes as far as coordinate pairs for this drawing. The legs from the Cupid message ended-up appearing on the "Bee Mine." (Section 4)
There were also 3 ordered pairs that were incorrectly according to the key!
I think money should be refunded when there are mistakes such as this!!!!

I have been a public school teacher in a highly respected district in the Atlanta metro area for the past 11 years. I have taught very diverse students, usually all together in one group! After teaching fourth grade for ten years, I am now teaching a computer lab special to 3 and 4 year olds, and loving it! I am also the technology coordinator for my public, special needs school. You never know what changes life will bring!
