Students study map grids and explore how they can be used to locate positions of objects or features on a map. They read a story and then participate in a grid activity using a large map of the setting of the story.

Students create a treasure map by plotting points on a coordinate plane using a computer drawing program. Students name and identify different landmasses and structures on their map. They create instructions to find the treasure that...

Students plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. Given a game board and other manipulatives, groups of students participate in a coordinate grid game where they stand and place their feet and hands on a given grid position. Much like...

What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...

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...

Fourth graders discover how to apply the Cartesian coordinate system by figuring out the length and width of their school playground. They determine that pacing is an important tool for the initial mapping of a site. Students conduct a...

Learners participate in designing a city layout using grids and coordinates. They work on a city space and create a grid on a life size layout on the gym floor.

Pupils interview classmates and record their findings on a coordinate grid using Inspiration or Kidspiration and digital cameras. This lesson is technology-based and includes resource links.

In this math worksheet, students plot points on a coordinate grid. The grid ranges from positive ten on the x-axis to positive ten on the y-axis.

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Students investigate rational numbers through data analysis and statistics. In this algebra lesson, students represent, rename, compare and order rational numbers. They collect and represent data correctly on a graph.

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...

Learners discover a method for determining the slope of a line by creating and comparing similar triangles. They fold coordinate grids to make three similar triangles then measure the sides to compare the relationships between the...

Get out the compass and a pencil its time to use a coordinate grid to practice mapping skills. Young cartographers use the prompts and provided grid to plot locations, draw parallel lines, and determine distances between points. 

Learners first create designs for greeting cards by applying transformations of shapes on a coordinate plane, and then determine a sequence of transformations that produces a given design.

In this money activity, students fill up a grid with coins and then roll dice to get ordered pairs and take the money of the ordered pair that they roll. Students then add up their money in the end and see who wins.

Students review the techniques of plotting and reading points on a grid. They identify why facts explaining how to read coordinates as well as the importance of the order in which the coordinates are given. Individual practice of...

Third graders prepare for a trip to view marine life. In this science lesson plan, 3rd graders assemble a picture of a Humpback whale on a grid.

Students identify plots on a graph while playing a game on a large coordinate grid and then on smaller grids.

In this math worksheet, learners write the coordinates of points that have been plotted on a coordinate plane. This worksheet generator allows teachers to select the size of the grid and whether or not to use negative coordinates. An...

Students use Cartesian coordinates or degrees of latitude and longitude to locate important locations within their specific countries. They Use a grid to apply the concept of latitude and longitude, or positive and negative Cartesian...

In this transformations worksheet, students observe the errors in the reflection of a picture.  They determine the number of transformations needed to complete a grid.  Students perform reflections according to directions and...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

In this equations and inequalities worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 10 different problems that include determining the slope of a line in each. First, they determine the line that contains given points on a grid. Then, students...
