Why Teachers Like You LOVE This Resource:

“Who doesn’t love a good “mystery picture”? I used this activity with my students well before we got to the coordinate planes topic of math (usually quarter 4). I’m excited for them because they did so well with this standard – and this helped!” – What the Teacher Wants

“I love teaching coordinates and especially when the students are able to create pictures. This resource was excellent for my students during the holiday season. It brings the use of graphing to a more realistic perspective.” -Christine R
