Curated OER
1st Geometry
In this geometry worksheet, students choose the multiple choice answer to 15 questions involving several different elements of geometry.
Curated OER
Exploring Area/Perimeter Through Coordinate Geometry
Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.
Curated OER
Finding Coordinates on a Grid
In this finding coordinates on a grid worksheet, 3rd graders write the name of the shape that corresponds to eight given coordinates.
Curated OER
Shapes and Coordinates
In this shapes and coordinates activity, students identify the shapes that are located and given coordinates on graphs. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Melissa's Garden
In this math learning exercise, students identify the location of pictures on a coordinate plane. They write some answers as an ordered pair. They read ordered pairs and identify the picture at a specified location. Six problems are on a...
Curated OER
Line 'Em Up!
Young scholars find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to...
Curated OER
Leaf Weight-Loss Plan
Pupils measure the weight of a container of leaves daily to discover how quickly it grows lighter as the foliage dries.
Curated OER
The Treasure Map
Third graders problem solve using drawings and map interpretations. They preview graphs and Cartesian geometry. They follow directions on a map using a grid and compass references while simulating they are reading a pirate map.
Curated OER
Does the falling tree make a sound if no one if there to hear it? (or communication via encryption)
Students explore encryption. They discuss the importance of cryptography in our daily lives. Students use games and cryptography to discover transformational geometry and modulo systems. They design their own encryption puzzles and...
Curated OER
Cross Country Adventure
Students practice measurement and geography in this lesson. They build a Lego vehicle using an RCX. They predict how many seconds it will take their vehicle to reach a specific state on the United States of America map that each group of...
Alabama Learning Exchange
Alex: Coordinate Geometry
Students will participate in several activities that will build their knowledge of coordinates graphing. Students will use ordered pairs to locate points on a grid. Students will also relate coordinate graphing to the real world through...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Graphing Points
In this exercise, students practice graphing points. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.
