Students make a grid and coordinate system map of their classroom as they investigate why it is important to have a common map making system. They look at how landmarks are used for navigating an area.

Young scholars play a grid-based game and devise clues to help classmates locate spots on the globe in order to recognize the value of using longitude and latitude for identifying locations.

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

Sixth graders practice graphing coordinates. In this geometry lesson, they use the x and y axis to locate points that must be connected in the right sequence to form a straight line.

In 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.

In this SAT practice test, students compute the area and perimeter of polygons.  They determine the volume of a cylinder and solve problems with exponents.  This one-page worksheet contains 10 problems.  Answers are provided.

In this addition game worksheet, students call out answers to simple addition problems using coordinates that correspond with problems. A website reference is given for additional activities. 

Middle schoolers factor and solve systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students identify the point of intersection using substitution, elimination and graphing. They write an equation given a system and a graph.

In this graphing linear equations activity, 9th graders solve and graph 10 different problems that include graphing on the given coordinate planes. First, they determine whether each equation is a linear equation and rewrite it in the...

In this slope worksheet, students use graphing calculators to determine the slope of a line. They graph lines and identify characteristics of positive and negative slopes. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

Students investigate using some of the basic skills of an archaeologist while using a Cartesian coordinate system. They establish a grid system for a dig site and determine the locations for different artifacts. Students use the...

Fourth graders complete activities to increase their understanding of coordinates. They listen to Julie Glass' book, The Fly on the Ceiling, before playing fly tic-tac-toe and Swat the Flies, in which they use ordered pairs to state the...

Learners explore the concept of graphing ordered pairs. In this graphing ordered pairs lesson, students work in teams to play a version of Connect 4. Learners use a Cartesian grid with values -4 to 4 as their Connect 4 board. Students...

Learners use a coordinate grid. They investigate and discuss what caused certain objects to be in specific places. They choose a room in their home to map and place objects in specific locations.

Learners are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...

Young scholars search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.

Students explore movement and position concepts. They follow directions using left , right, up, down, North, South, East and West. Students draw and follow a path on a grid to show a route followed. They label and follow legends on a map.

Learners find the area of three figure by the traditional formulaic methods. Then they count the number of grid squares to double check. They show an intuitive sense of Pick's Algorithm by counting every two boundary squares as one unit....

Once you know how to graph y = b^x, the sky's the limit. Young mathematicians learn to graph basic exponential functions and identify key features, and then graph functions of the form f(x) = ab^(x – h) + k from the function f(x) = b^x.

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...
