THANK YOU FOR VISITING LOWER SCHOOL AT MOSES BROWN! We are a vibrant community of children, teachers, and families drawn together by a shared love of learning, and immersed in an environment of shared values. Our students and teachers work and play together to learn more about each other, ourselves and the world around us. We are a community in which it is safe to take risks, in which learning is an everunfolding process, and in which children thrive to their greatest potential. We hope you enjoy this activity book and invite you back to Moses Brown to learn, play, and explore!

Plot the points and make a picture! Each point given is an exact location on the graph with two numbers written like this: (x,y). The number in the x place identifies how many places to the right your point is located. The number in the y spot identifies how many places up your point is located. Always start counting at the spot where the vertical number line and the horizontal number line meet. It’s called the origin. When you find where a point is located on a graph, place a dot right where the two lines cross. This is called plotting a point. In this case, (1,2) — one over, two up.
