This Coordinate Plane Performance Task was a great real-world review for my 6th graders! It reinforced plotting points, identifying quadrants, and explaining reasoning in a meaningful way. The directions were clear, student-friendly, and easy to implement. It worked perfectly as both a review and informal assessment. I’ll definitely use it again next year — highly recommend!

Super cute activity to use at the end of a unit. Kids liked the project. Wish the premise related to 6th grade a bit more.
