Sixth graders complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders draw and label a coordinate...

In this naming points on the coordinate plane activity, students name 6 coordinates off of 6 graphs.  Students name the x and y-coordinates of 6 different points in all four quadrants.

Learners play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate grid. In this graphing instructional activity, students listen as the teacher explains quadrants and ordered pairs. They place their "ships" on the board. The...

In this coordinate plane worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 21 different problems that include various pairs of points. First, they write the ordered pair for each point on the first grid. Then, students name the quadrant in which...

This learning exercise is basic, but provides a variety of ways for students to practice identifying points on a coordinate graph. Students start by identifying points in various quadrants, and end up naming ordered pairs.

In this ordered pairs worksheet, students read the directions in 6 story problems that will tell which way to move on the coordinate plane. Students identify the ordered pairs that name their ending spot.

In this solving coordinate grid word problem activity, students plot points, order pairs, identify horizontal and vertical lines, and find distances to solve problems. Students solve six problems.

Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

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

Students examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of...

Students determine the missing vertices of quadrilaterals. In this rectangles and trapezoids lesson, students examine the characteristics of quadrilaterals. They identify the missing vertices of a quadrilateral on a coordinate plane.

Pupils review ordered pairs. In this graphing lesson, students review ordered pairs with the teacher. This lesson includes a brief teacher script to help guide the pupils in understanding.

These simple slides demonstrate how to use ordered pairs. They explain how a coordinate plane is set up, then show a series of images located on the grid. The class decides which ordered pair is missing from each object, then determine...

In this Froot Loop to the Max worksheet, students complete 21 different sets of ordered pairs. They plot each of the ordered pairs listed on the sheet, connecting them in order from #1 through #21. Then, students determine whether it is...

In this online math activity, students calculate the area of a variety of rectangles given the measure of their vertices. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

Students are able to identify ordered pairs on coordinate plane, and graph points on a coordinate plane. They are able to write an ordered pair for each of the points on a graph, and create a design or picture using ordered pairs.

Turn a lesson on the coordinate plane into a class game of battleship with this fun math resource. Providing two coordinate grids and and places to fill in the ordered pairs that are guessed, this activity is a great way...

Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of the coordinate plane with this series of skills practice worksheets. Offering 10 different exercises that involve identifying ordered pairs,...

In this ordered pair and linear systems worksheet, students problem solve two equations involving ordered pairs and solving linear systems by graphing.

Youngsters use a graphing calculator to assist in creating a function table. They graph the function on a coordinate plane. They explore the relationship between the domain and range in the graph. This four-page worksheet contains two...

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...

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...

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...

Investigate vectors in standard positions and use the CellSheet application on the TI calculator to find the sum of two vectors. Convert from polar to rectangular coordinates and vice versa, and show graphs of the vectors.
