Learners map their playground as if it were an archeological site. They locate objects on the playground and determine their location using coordinate points. A related activity is Coordinate Grid: Mapping an Archeological Site.

Take your study of coordinates online! Groups of students complete an online graphing introduction, plotting the points of virtual objects. A worksheet is included for extra practice.

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

Students identify points plotted on the coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students learn to read a map using concepts of a coordinate plane grid. They find the path given a map to tell them where to go.

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Students analyze distance and graphing. In this geometry instructional activity, students work problems on a coordinate grid calculating the distance. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to their data and answer.

Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...

Combine linear equations and a little creativity to produce a work of art. Math scholars create a design as they graph a list of linear equations. Their project results in a stained glass window pattern that they color.

Students work together to grid a 2 x 2 meter unit using the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem. After creating the grid, they identify the location of artifacts and create a map of their location. They develop a graph and table of their...

Students graph polar graphs. In this calculus lesson, students convert between polar and rectangular coordinates. They graph their solution on the TI calculator and make observations.

Learners explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms instructional activity, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Learners use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting...
