Treasure Map Project!

The following project has several parts

Part A:
You are given a blank treasure map and a blank template for
your directions. There must be at least one point in every
quadrant. You need to begin at the origin (0,0) to begin your
journey of 6 steps. Then you have to provide written
directions and show your steps on the map.
Then, tell us about your treasure. What did you hide? Why
is it so special to you?
Part B:
The City Grid is provided and the citizens of the town need
your help! Follow the directions and inform the citizens
about several points.
Part C:
Mathematical Computation and written explanation.

7) Move 4 north then move 3 west New Point G (

Explain your treasure! What did you hide? Why is it so important to

you?

Maps are often represented on coordinate planes like the one

shown below. Each unit on the grid represents one mile.
Example: A building located at (0,2) is 2 miles away from a
building located at (0,4).

Part B:
There are six buildings that need to be plotted on a city grid:
City Hall (0, 1),

Westfield Mall (4, -3),

Bobcat Stadium (3, 2),

McKinley High School (-4, 1),

Roberts Middle School (-4, 3),

Grovers Mill (-3, -4).

Place a point on the graph to represent each building and label it with
the correct building name.

Which building is farther to the west: Roberts Middle School or the

Grovers Mill?
Explain your answer in words and by writing an inequality using the
proper
coordinates and either the greater than (<) or less than (>) sign.

Part C
a) |-3| =
d) |-3 | + |-5| =

b) |5| =
e) |16-11| =

c) - |-4| =
f) -|10-3| =

All roads in the city travel either north and south or east and west. How
many
miles must the citys residents travel to go from the Bobcat Stadium to
Grovers
Mill? Explain. Your explanation should include absolute value.
