Students participate as a class in this activity using their desks as points on the coordinate plane. The teacher leads them in the activity, increasing their understanding of the characteristics of the coordinate plane.

In this interactive, students use clues and logic to plot the location of aquatic animals on a Cartesian graph that represents the four cardinal directions. The three riddles in the interactive, including one that requires students to...

The students will be learning about the coordinate grid through the use of multiple learning styles and real-life examples. This lesson includes a detailed plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a video explanation.

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that take a look at the Cartesian (or Rectangular) coordinate system. Provides definitions of ordered pairs, coordinates, quadrants, and x and y-intercepts.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept explores graphing a dilation given a description of the dilation. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and...

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of scale to organize and represent data from a table on a graph.

Introduces students to graphing in the polar coordinate plane.

This activity allows the user to explore the polar coordinate system. The applet is similar to GraphIt, but instead allows users to explore the representation of a function in the polar coordinate system.

An overview of functions and graphing on a coordinate plane.

This lesson plan is directed at introducing students to how to graph functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They will experience several categories of functions including lines and parabolas. Resources and interactive tools are...

The parts of the coordinate plane are described and plotting ordered pairs is demonstrated with several examples. The four quadrants of the coordinate plane are also defined.

The lesson plan, with objectives, activity outline, and a plotting-practice activity, examines impossible graphs.

This activity allows the user to plot ordered pairs and parametric equations on the same coordinate plane.

Students can create graphs of functions entered as algebraic expressions similar to a graphing calculator.

Students learn the basics of graphing including terminology, plotting, and reading points. The lesson has an overview, materials, procedures, and evaluation techniques.

Students learn the basics of graphing including terminology, plotting, and reading points. The lesson has an overview, materials, procedures, and evaluation techniques.

The interactive learning game has students practice their point plotting skills as they move through a mine field. The goal of the game is to get to a target location without crossing a mine.

The interactive learning activity allows students to plot multiple ordered pairs. Teacher resources are included.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students graph an exponential function and compare graphs of exponential functions on the same coordinate plane. Students examine guided notes, review guided...

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to have students practice simple computation that results in them graphing their answers. If they are accurate they will have a straight line. Students use an interactive...

For this task, students find a unique linear function, a unique exponential function, and more than one quadratic function that go through the same two points on the coordinate grid. Aligns with F-LE.A.

Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.

Graph ordered pairs and customize the graph title and axis labels. Points are connected from left to right, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.

A lesson plan where students will interpret the trigonometric functions in terms of the unit circle, graph a sinusoidal function, and use a sinusoidal function to make interpretations in a modeling context.
