Working with a map that does not have a coordinate system on it, small, collaborative teams must come up with a coordinate system for their map. Groups then explain their coordinate structure to the class.

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Sinking ships, construction paper, coordinate planes, sounds like fun day in math class. Play the game Battleship with your class and reinforce the concept of graphing ordered pairs.

Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...

The class practices plotting points in a Cartesian coordinate system and a Polar coordinate system. They convert from one system to the other to get coordinates to plot. Then they play a Tic-Tac-Toe or Connect Four game to have a...

Elementary schoolers become points on a Cartesian Plane in their classroom. They review ordered pairs, positive and negative coordinates, quadrants, and the x and y axes. Pupils follow commands that help review vocabulary, such as...

Put the graph into graphing and allow learners to understand the concept of point plotting and how it relates to data. The worksheet provides a nice way to connect data analysis to a graph and make predictions. The worksheets within...

This is a comprehensive lesson on creating and solving equations and systems of equations and inequalities. Problems range from basic linear equations to more complex systems of equations and inequalities based on a real-world examples....

In this simultaneous equations worksheet, students solve and complete 7 various types of problems. First, they solve graphically the system of equations shown. Then, students find the number of solutions that each pairs of equations...

Young scholars are told what a coordinate system is and also that it provides a way of uniquely describing each point on a plane or in space. They are given a practice problem along with the equation. Students solve the following...

Learners solve linear systems using slope intercept form. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations by rewriting them in the form y = mx + b. They evaluate coordinate pairs to see if they are a solution to the problem. Learners...

Don't throw away those transparency sheets just yet! Young scholars first review inequalities on a number line, then learn about graphing inequalities in the coordinate plane. Finally, they use overhead transparencies to create systems...

Elementary and middle schoolers engage in a activity of graphing in quadrant I of the coordinate plain. They use the graph to create shapes and symbols. While using a graphing calculator, they locate the points on the coordinate plane....

Lets keep the system working and show learners the three ways to solve linear systems of equations. Each method includes step-by-step instructions to work their way through the problem. The same problem is used for each method to show...

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...

Solving systems of equations underpins much of advanced algebra, especially linear algebra. Developing an intuition for the kinds and descriptions of solutions is key for success in those later courses. This intuition is exactly what...

In this systems of linear inequalities worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they determine whether a given point is in the solution set of a system of linear inequalities. Then, students graph...

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...

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a activity to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

In this algebra worksheet, students work with pairs of linear equations. Three problems ask students to determine if the given ordered pair is a solution of the system of equations. Students graph two systems to determine the solution.

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...

One thing that puzzles a lot of young algebrists is the factors in a word problem that are taken as "understood". This presentation on solving systems of linear inequalities does a great job walking the learner through how to tease those...

In this graphing solutions worksheet, 9th graders solve 13 various types of problems. First, they find the solution of each systems by graphing on the coordinate plane provided. Then, students solve each systems of equations...

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