The document provides instructions for an assignment to create an Alaska Homestead Graph that is due on Wednesday, September 12. It includes information about plotting points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs (x,y) where x represents left/right and y represents up/down. It divides the coordinate plane into four quadrants and lists six points for students to plot, including (0,4), (-3,-4), (5,1), (-5,1), (3,-4), and (0,4).

Investigation #1:
*FYI...
*To plot coordinates (ordered pairs, or points on a
coordinate plane)...
(x, y)
­the first number tells you left or right
(left ­ negative & right ­ positive)
­the second number tells you up or down
(up ­ positive & down ­ negati ve)
*ALWAYS start at the origin to begin plotting a point!
