Learners examine a story problem in which two men are earning money by cutting cords of wood. They use data from graphs to use on a grid. They practice writing algebraic equations as well.

A geometry game that resembles Battleship is the foundation for hide and seek where "hiders" draw shapes on coordinate planes and "seekers" must guess the shape and its location based on questions and clues. Reproducible, paper-sized...

Sixth graders identify the x and y axes in a coordinate plane and identifies the coordinates of a given point in the first quadrant. They plot specific points in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students recognize the importance of slope. They use blocks to model the slope of a line and calculate the slope of a line on a coordinate grid. Afterward, they describe objects they encounter in their everyday lives that have slopes.

In this inequality worksheet, students graph the inequality of a line. They list ten integer coordinates that lie on the grid. Students explore their findings and answer thought questions. They shade the graph to indicate answers. ...

Third graders problem solve using drawings and map interpretations. They preview graphs and Cartesian geometry. They follow directions on a map using a grid and compass references while simulating they are reading a pirate map.

For this reading graphs practice worksheet, students examine a graph and respond to 5 questions that require them to record the coordinates of 5 shapes on the gridded graph.

For this map activity worksheet, learners determine which countries are shown on a set of 16 maps, then read facts about each country designed to help with a report on that country.

Students practice coordinates and measurements, develop 2D, 3D topological map, construct grid with string on real surface, establish "level" fixed point for measurements, take and record data points of elevation, and enter data on...

High schoolers create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

In this coordinate plane worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 3 different problems that include playing a game with graphing. First, they mark one of each of they ships either horizontally or vertically. Then, students call out a...

Students find equations of parabolas in real world scenarios.  In this finding equations of parabolas in real world scenarios instructional activity, students find the equations of parabolas of US landmarks.  Students put a...

Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...

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...

One step at a time! A seemingly linear relationship becomes an entirely new type of function. Young scholars build their understanding of step functions by completing a three-stage activity that incorporates multiple representations of...

A lesson involving mapping, the use of a compass, writing and following directions, and exploring the first two themes of geography is here for you. Learners create original maps that show the routes they take through their own...

Students read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants and state where a shape will be after translation. They explore the concept of translation using a a four quadrant grid of the of River Tyne running through all 4 quads. In...

Pupils develop skill in using co-ordinates. Up to eight cardinal points of the compass are used making this a useful activity in simple map and grid work. They utilize educational software to gain practice.

Fourth graders examine the different types of settlements used in Utah. They take a community map of Utah past and present and compare the two. They create a model of the early types of settlements used by pioneers in Utah.

Students comprehend the basic units of measurement, scale, plotting, and basic grids. Students practice their estimation and measuring skills and will demonstrate their ability to work well in groups.

Students locate community sites on a city map using the map legend and grid system.

Fourth graders read an article, then search for verbs, adverbs, nouns, pronouns, etc. In groups, they exchange papers and try to guess what the other poem was about.

Students move themselves around a "world" map on the classroom floor, using lines of latitude and longitude to locate specific spots. They determine the locations of 11 countries where Peace Corps Volunteers are serving and identify in...
