Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Small groups work through two guided activities to derive the distance and midpoint formulas for the coordinate plane. The activities begin with concrete examples and move to abstract.

Where in the world (or at least in the coordinate plane) is the third vertex? Given two coordinate points for the vertices of a triangle, individuals find the location of the third vertex. They read an account of fictional...

A straightforward approach to teaching complex numbers, this lesson addresses the concepts of complex numbers, polar coordinates, Euler's formula, De moivres Theorem, and more. It includes a practice problems set with odd answers...

In this geometry activity, 10th graders are given points on a coordinate plane, and they must figure out what the x and y values are. There are 6 graphing question.

In this algebra worksheet, students investigate the coordinate plane through graphing, plotting and identifying the different quadrants. They identify vertical and horizontal lines in the coordinate plane. There are 10 questions with an...

In this Greeley, Colorado problem, students read a word problem.  They use given directions and a coordinate plane to determine the number of ways to satisfy given travel conditions.  This one-page worksheet contains 1...

In this algebra worksheet, 10th graders analyze a graph and find the missing coordinate pair using the midpoint formula. There are 3 questions with an answer sheet.

This is a nifty tool to keep on hand, especially when addressing CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.6 standards. It is, simply, a Cartesian coordinate plane with all four quadrants. Give individuals one each, and then call out or write ordered pairs...

In this functions activity, 11th graders solve and complete 30 various types of multiple choice problems that include reading and interpreting functions and patterns. First, they determine the table that best represents a function. Then,...

In this midpoint formula worksheet, students determine the midpoint of a line by using given ordered pairs. Students use one endpoint of a line and the midpoint to find the remaining endpoint of a line. This four-page worksheet contains...

In this ordered pairs worksheet, students identify 6 ordered pairs given a coordinate plane.  Students list the ordered pair given the graph.

In this coordinate graph worksheet, 10th graders graph and complete 10 pairs of numbers on the illustrated gird. They graph each x point and label it on the graph. Then, students graph each y point listed on the graph and label those...

In this ordered pairs worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 6 different sets of points on each graph. First, they draw each of the given ordered pairs in each problem on the gird shown. Then, students label each of these points on the...

Don't be a square! Young mathematicians determine the slope and length of a line segment. They then prove whether four given coordinate points form a square.

The last installment of a 21-part module is an end-of-module assessment. Individuals show their understanding of positive and negative numbers on the number line, absolute value, and the coordinate plane in a variety of contexts.

Pupils work in pairs to investigate what it takes to prove that two triangles are similar. They work through various shortcuts to find which are enough to show a similarity relationship between the triangles. Small groups work with the...

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

Quiz your middle and high schoolers on solving exponential growth and decay. First, they evaluate for a variable given the second variables value. Then, they graph an equation that illustrates the exponential growth or exponential decay...

What occurs following a natural disaster? High schoolers research this question and others as they investigate natural succession after a disaster. First, as they differentiate between primary and secondary succession, they explain...

In this graph worksheet, students study colored shapes plotted on a Cartesian coordinate plane. Students identify the "right" and "left" coordinates for each shape. The page should be duplicated in color.

In this activity, students are given a graph with plotted points. They are asked to identify the coordinate points from the graph.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

Find out just how much your pupils know about simple sentences, subjects and predicates, sentence fragments, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, compound sentences, complex sentences, and more! This review page includes...
