In this activity we played a game called Battleship using the Cartesian plane. Each player chooses a few spots to put their ships on the board, and we take turns guessing where the other has put them, using coordinates. This was a fun activity. 

By guessing the coordinates, we familiarized ourselves with the plane. This activity also makes it easier to understand where each coordinate belongs, and what it means. It was enjoyable and we got to work with our friends! Activities like this can be a great way to learn future concepts in Maths!
