Go the distance with a far out resource. Individuals use an interactive to create right triangles on a coordinate plane to help find distance between two points. Challenge questions aid them in developing the distance formula.

By selecting the resource, you're already halfway to understanding midpoints. Pupils use a slider to locate midpoints on the coordinate plane. They connect this conceptual understanding to the formula for the midpoint of a line segment.

One quadrant just isn't enough. Pupils learn to plot points in the four quadrants of a coordinate plane using an interactive. A set of challenge questions tests their understanding of the skill.

Transform the thinking of transformations with six sample items that illustrate the first four standards in the eighth grade geometry domain. Items use the coordinate plane to transform figures and analyze the relationship of the figures...

Pythagoras is all about being right. A presentation provides sample items for how the Pythagorean Theorem standards may show up in Smarter Balanced assessments. Seven items use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the sides of a right...

Five questions make up an interactive that challenges mathematicians to compare unit rates. Word problems question scholars about two friends going on a road trip. Scholars manipulate two cars on a coordinate plane to help solve word...

These floors were made for learning. Pupils use coordinate planes drawn on the classroom floor using tape to investigate parallelograms. They measure lengths, angles, and slopes to identify properties of parallelograms.

In this grid worksheet, 5th graders use a grid map with coordinate points to answer six questions regarding distance between locations.

The coordinate plane links key geometry and algebra concepts in this approachable but rigorous unit. The class starts by developing the distance formula from the Pythagorean Theorem, then moves to applications of slope. Activities...

Here is an activity that merges technology with life skills as individuals use Google Earth to explore the differences between coordinate systems and map projections. The self-guided activity is the fourth segment in a nine-part unit....

There are 12 symbols on this large grid, and scholars must record a location for each. They use the coordinate pair system which is made easier because every symbol is directly inside a square. Use this to introduce coordinate pair...

As you introduce graphs and coordinate pairs, use this guided activity to get scholars started. They reference an example before recording number pairs to identify the location of 12 letters on a grid. Next, learners examine shapes on a...

Examine dilation with matrices with your class. Learners write a conjecture for how the scale factor determines the size of an image. They then use their conjecture to write a matrix multiplication problem for the illustrated...

A series of graphs are displayed with points plotted for time and position. A question is asked for each, requiring your class to view one axis and track its partner coordinate. A few examples are given to begin each section, and so this...

In this coordinate grid graphing worksheet, students play a game of Battleship on the computer. They answer 21 questions about the coordinate grid and graphing.

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and finding the...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders create visuals to help them understand the position of a point, line and plane in space or on a coordinate plane. There are 3 questions.

How can matrices help us solve linear systems? Learners explore this question as they apply their understanding of transformation matrices to linear systems. They discover the inverse matrix and use it to solve the matrix equation...

Elementary or middle schoolers use ratios to discover some nearly constant relationships between measurements of parts of the human body. They find and record pairs of measurements and determine the relationship between the pairs. Pupils...

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Learners investigate properties of similar figures. In this properties of similar figures lesson, pupils construct similar figures using Cabri Jr. They dilate their figure to create a similar one, and discuss the relationships between...

Use a graphing lines worksheet to have your mathematicians graph the line of a given equation and plot specified points. The first 10 problems have a given equation, and two values. The next 10 problems have a given equation, but your...

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Jim and Jesse started their road trip with the same amount of money. Your class must find the amount of money each one had given, the amount of money spent, and the ratio of money at the end. This is a comprehensive problem that...
