Shape Capture Game
For this shape capture game worksheet, 8th graders work in pairs to plot quadrilaterals, then guess ordered pairs for each other's shape in order to locate the vertices on the grid; can be used with other shape as well.

Gridlock Jr.
In this gridlock worksheet, students roll dice and put counters in the ordered pairs on the graph that they get from the rolled dice. Students play this game and whoever gets 3 in a row wins.

Grab the Candy
In this ordered pairs activity, students place candy shaped markers on a grid sheet. They roll the dice to form an ordered pair. They place a marker on that grid square and take the candy piece if there is one located there.
