Geometric transformations are explored by high schoolers. They will create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real-world figure. These instructions are shared with middle...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Young scholars create a treasure map by plotting points on a coordinate plane using a computer drawing program. Students name and identify different landmasses and structures on their map. They create instructions to find the treasure...

Students work in groups to create a graph on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson plan, students analyze data and put it into their graph by plotting points.

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson, students listen as the teacher explains quadrants and ordered pairs. They place their "ships" on the board. The teacher calls...

Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson plan, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated...

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Grab your class and get them graphing polygons on a coordinate plane! They investigate the four quadrants, discover the x and y axis, and correctly plot ordered pairs. To show their comprehension, each child creates a coordinate picture...

Students use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns lesson, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...
