The Coordinate Plane
Fifth graders use the attached worksheet, Where's My Location? - Directions, to play a game in which they plot points on a grid.
Curated OER
Melissa's Garden
For this math worksheet, students identify the location of pictures on a coordinate plane. They write some answers as an ordered pair. They read ordered pairs and identify the picture at a specified location. Six problems are on a page....
Curated OER
Grids
In this geometry worksheet, students plot and label 8 sets of points and triangles on a grid using coordinate pairs. They use both positive and negative numbers.
Curated OER
Number Pairs
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...

Translations
Introduce translations as transformations that move figures in horizontal and vertical distances with a video that shows how to translate the figures. A second video covers how to determine the translation that has occurred. Pupils...
Curated OER
Location, Location, Location: Using a Grid to Determine Context
Seventh graders are introduced to making inferences about artifacts. Using a grid system, they locate the artifacts and determine where they originated from. They use this information to make conclusions about the way people lived...
Curated OER
Plot and Name Points on a Grid
In this graphing worksheet, students solve a set of 6 problems, using a given graph to answer questions related to plotting points, units moved in a given directions and coordinates.
Curated OER
How Much Will I Spend On Gas?
Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.
Curated OER
Coordinate Crunch
Young scholars identify plots on a graph while playing a game on a large coordinate grid and then on smaller grids.
Curated OER
Coordinates
In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given points on a coordinate plane, and they must figure out what the x and y values are. There are 6 graphing question.
Curated OER
Locating Points
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...
Curated OER
Help Mary Find Her Way Home
Students discover the first quadrant of the coordinate plane by using coordinate points to give directions. They show a lost girl the way home using coordinate points. They add definitions to their math journals.
Curated OER
Line 'Em Up!
Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...
Curated OER
Where Are We?
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...
Curated OER
Unit 7 Transformations
In this transformations learning exercise, 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...
Curated OER
How Big is a Dinosaur?
Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.
Curated OER
Tomb Robbers
Sixth graders identify benchmark angles as they are embedded into a circle grid. They observe the teacher using an angle ruler and complete a Star Spangled worksheet, play the game Tomb Robbers, and as a class discuss their game winning...
Curated OER
Transforming Triangles
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...
Curated OER
LAND USE ISSUES
Students relate math with real life situations. They identify and plot points on a grid map. They identify and locate the Drop Box Sites.
Curated OER
Slopes and the Equation of a Line
In this slope and the equation of a line worksheet, 9th graders solve 15 various types of problems that include determining the slope of a line segment and determining the equation of line when two points on the line are presented. They...
