The Plotting Cartesian Coordinates Quiz was very different than other quizzes I have taken. I liked it because instead of just answering questions I had to create things to show an understanding of the topic. It was also better because it allowed me to work through the problems. Working with the coordinates was nice because they are very logical. Coordinates are helpful for plotting exact points on a 2d face but now I can plot things in a 3D space using the Z axis. Coordinate planes are also very useful when transforming objects. You can rotate them around certain points or shrink them by a certain factor. It is also very easy to shift shapes up, down or side to side. You could also use a coordinate plane to plot motion. If your shape was to move to the left then you could plot the exact endpoints using the plane.

Cool!. And cartesian coordinate systems are cool. Less common is the polar system, though polar coordinates are probably quicker depict in our minds, if not on a 2D sheet of paper.
