Third graders make a grid map. In this directionality lesson, 3rd graders review how to use a grid to locate objects or places on a map. Students draw a grid map of the classroom and locate seating assignments. Students create a grid of...

Young scholars identify and label the coordinate planes by the four different quadrants. In this geometry lesson plan, students plot an ordered pair correctly. They identify and differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.

Students demonstrate how to use the map grid system. In this map skills lesson, students are given coordinates to locate several locations on a world map. Students use the map grid system to identify these locations.

Young scholars play a bingo-type game to locate cities by coordinates. They explain the use of orientation on a map and identify cities in the western hemisphere. They compare road maps, shutttle images, and a CIR image and obtain an...

Using GPS units, small groups participate in a scavenger hunt to find an object that you have hidden. They use coordinates for stopping points along a pre-planned path to get to the final cache. This is a terrific activity to include in...

Students locate different places on globes and maps by learning about latitude and longitude lines. In this latitude and longitude lesson plan, students identify specific locations based on the degrees of latitude and longitude.

Middle schoolers view a polar view map and discuss ways of telling locations on the map. They view a copy of the map superimposed on a coordinate grid, then discuss ways of telling the locations. Students practice as a class and then...

Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

Students are introduced to both celestial coordinates and to the first rung on the distance determination ladder. They convert spherical coordinates to Cartesian coordinates to construct a three dimensional model of a constellation...

Young scholars access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to...

Students explore the distance formula using real world data from nonviolent marches for social change.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students investigate the marches of Gandhi and King using maps overlaid with a coordinate...

Students plot the migration paths of birds using latitude and longitude data from a table.

Your young graphers will collaboratively play their way to a better understanding of the solution set produced by the combining of inequalities. Cooperation and communication are emphasized by the teacher asking questions to guide the...

Students locate community sites on a city map using the map legend and grid system.

Students explore movement and position concepts. They follow directions using left , right, up, down, North, South, East and West. Students draw and follow a path on a grid to show a route followed. They label and follow legends on a map.

Students practice coordinates and measurements, develop 2D, 3D topological map, construct grid with string on real surface, establish "level" fixed point for measurements, take and record data points of elevation, and enter data on...
