In this shoelace algorithm learning exercise, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

In this parametric worksheet, students sketch given inequalities and use trigonometry functions to eliminate the parameters. They write equations of a line under given parameters. This four-page worksheet contains 11 multi-step problems.

Eighth graders investigate concepts related to Cartesian Coordinates. They use a creative game at the beginning of the lesson to identify quadrants by passing candy to one another. The rest of the lesson is using vocabulary and problem...

In this math learning exercise, students plot the course for a ship traveling from one point to another using two Cartesian coordinates. Then they plot the vector of the course.

Use this math worksheet to have your charges engage in  positive and negative numbers for math coordinate graphing purposes. There are no questions on the page which is labeled for grade 5.

A page right out of the Holt Geometry book. Use a graphing calculator and graph paper to explore transformations with matrices.  

Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distances between two points. Use this Pythagorean Theorem lesson plan to have learners find the distances on a coordinate plane in small groups.

In this graphing worksheet, learners graph linear equations on a coordinate plane. Students identify the slope and y-intercept of each problem, find the midpoint of a line, and the distance between given points. Given an equation,...

In this algebra worksheet, students compute 4 functions for a given value. They graph 4 functions, and write equations for two graphs. Each function has an exponent as the variable.

In this pi learning exercise, students identify and complete 4 different problems that include pi and graphing data points. First, they complete the chart at the top by measuring the diameter and circumference of each object. Then,...

What would your dream house look like? A cottage? A medieval castle? High schoolers enrolled in Algebra design the perfect house while using slopes to write equations for various aspects of the project.

In this ordered pairs worksheet, 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.

Socratic questioning to teach Euclidean geometry? "The Nouns of Geometry," followed by "The Verbs of Geometry," and the misfit, "A Beginner's Story - The Equilateral Triangle" are designed to encourage learners to explore various...

Eighth graders form a human coordinate grid to develop knowledge of the placement and meaning of coordinates on a grid. They experience the placements of the x and y coordinates in an ordered pair.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of slope. In this slope lesson plan, learners graph lines using a life-size graph. They use chalk on a blacktop to create a coordinate plane and use each other as the tick marks on the grid....

Prove theorems through an analysis. Learners find the midpoint of each side of a triangle, draw the medians, and find the centroid. They then examine the location of the centroid on each median discovering there is a 1:2 relationship....

Function notation is like a code waiting to be cracked. Learners take the graph of an unknown equation and manipulate it based on three different transformation changes of the function equation. The final step is to look at three points...

Patterns emerge as the class works together to fill in a number grid. This whole group activity is designed to make all learners feel successful, and ultimately turns into a lesson on the least common multiple.

Win the war of the worlds! Scholars solve a variety of problems related to an alien invasion. They determine where spaceships have landed on a coordinate map, devise a plan to avoid the aliens, observe the aliens, and break a code to...

Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their opponents shapes. 

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

Can you use triangles to create a circle? Learners develop the unit circle using right triangle trigonometry. They then use the unit circle to evaluate common sine and cosine values.

Young scholars compare the costs of two cellular phone plans and determine the best rate. They use a table and a graph of points plotted on a Cartesian plane to display their findings. Students write an equation containing variables that...

In this graphing worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 8 different problems that include defining various terms related to graphing. First, they label the quadrants in a coordinate plane and name the quadrant for each listed ordered...
