I love the ideas found through Lesson Planet, especially for writing techniques. My year-end planning for the coming year will definitely be more enjoyable!

Cartesian Coordinate Graphing

Sixth graders study graphs. In this graphing instructional activity, 6th graders plot ten points on a Cartesian coordinate graph using ordered pairs and play a game to practice this skill with a partner.

Polar and Cartesian Coordinates

Learners define polar and Cartesian coordinates before solving equations. In this calculus lesson, students play battleship and discover polar coordinates in more depth. They use conversions to convert from polar to regular coordinate points.

Cartesian Coordinate System

Young scholars explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

 

Introduction To Coordinate Entry

Students demonstrate industrial literacy. They conduct problem solving, graphing, note taking, and self management skills. They construct then plot, Absolute and Relative Cartesian Coordinates and Absolute and Relative Polar Coordinates.

Where Are We?

Students use Cartesian coordinates or degrees of latitude and longitude to locate important locations within their specific countries. They Use a grid to apply the concept of latitude and longitude, or positive and negative Cartesian coordinates, to determine the position of an object in the room.

Mapping Inside a Cave

Students use a map to the limestonde cave taht they created using clay and sugar cubes using Cartesian coordinates as a guide to help them recreate a blueprint of the interior of their cave.

Gridding A Site

Students use a map and the Cartesian coordinate system to establish a grid system over an archaeological site, labeling each grid unit. They also determine the location of artifacts within each grid unit and construct a scientific inquiry concerning the location of artifacts on the site.

 

Graphing and the Coordinate Plane

Students examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of rise over run for the slope.

The Next Dimension

Learners investigate the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. They listen to a teacher-led lecture, describe points in a 3-D space on a worksheet, and construct a set of axes.

Graphs and Functions

Students describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. Students solve functions in on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.
