Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

In this writing coordinates worksheet, students solve and graph 6 different problems related to writing various coordinates on the graph. First, they move to the right and up on the grid, naming the point found. Then, students move up or...

In this coordinate plane worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 30 different problems that include determining various coordinates on a graph. First, they write the ordered pair for each point shown on the grid, naming the quadrant in...

These simple slides demonstrate how to use ordered pairs. They explain how a coordinate plane is set up, then show a series of images located on the grid. The class decides which ordered pair is missing from each object, then determine...

Students examine how grids are created and used to locate positions of objects or features on a map.

In this rise over run worksheet, students solve and complete 2 different problems that include determining the rise over run for a race ran. First, they use the information in the table to graph each person's performance using a...

Identifying the location of ordered pairs on coordinate planes is the focus in the math lesson presented here. In it, 4th graders are introduced to coordinate pairs, the x/y axis, and the techniques associated with this type of graphing....

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...

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.

In this placing items on a grid learning exercise, students draw specified pictures on a coordinate plane in an instructed location. All locations are identified by an ordered pair. This one-page learning exercise contains 20 problems.

In this drawing activity, students draw shapes on a coordinate plane at the specified location. They interpret a given ordered pair and then draw a star, circle, triangle, or square as directed. This one-page activity contains two...

Are you working on graphing ordered pairs in your class? In this learning exercise, learners, after looking over and studying how to graph ordered pairs, plot points on a coordinate grid and connect the dots. Class members also identify...

This engaging coordinate pairs activity will have scholars intrigued; they mark 13 points on a grid and then connect them to create a capital block letter. Which one will it be? The grid has whole numbers 0-10 along both axes, so...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

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...

As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write 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. 

In this mathematical instructional activity, students practice plotting the points on a grid using eight different sets of coordinates with a ruler to make eight separate shapes.

In these identifying coordinates on a grid, linear graphs, and equations worksheets, 6th graders draw the shapes and letter, complete a table and use it to draw a graph, calculate gradients of lines, determine equations of lines, solve...

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 instructional activity on the least common multiple.

Your middle schoolers will show what they know with their bodies when they become the coordinate plane in this conceptual development unit. Starting with the characteristics of the coordinate plane, learners develop their skills by...

How can we use vectors to determine a person's position when traveling? The simulation offers guided practice at determining the coordinates and the distance between coordinates on a map grid. It reinforces the importance of positive...

In this Greeley, Colorado problem, learners 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 learning exercise contains 1...

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate plane. In this coordinate graphing lesson, students select a point on their grid to place their "battleship." It the opposing team misses the ship, the...
