Eighth graders work in one collaborative group to understand how ordered pairs are represented and graphed on a coordinate plane. They identify points on the coordinate plane and communicate their understanding of ordered pairs and their...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of slope. In this slope lesson plan, learners graph lines using a life-size graph. They use chalk on a blacktop to create a coordinate plane and use each other as the tick marks on the grid....

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.

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. For this ordered pairs lesson, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the fish left,...

For this earth science worksheet, students identify what a site matrix is and that is composed of a sandstone mixture. They excavate each quadrant and write detailed journal entries. Students also complete a site map that illustrates...

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...

Young scholars identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders match ordered pairs to the correct quadrant on a coordinate plane. They tell in which quadrants x and y values will be positive or negative. There are 19 questions.

Students calculate and find a certain location. In this geometry lesson, students examine a coordinate plane for pair of coordinates. They calculate the distance between point using the distance formula and estimation.

Calculate exact trigonometric values using the angles of special right triangles. Beginning with a review of the unit circle and trigonometric functions, class members use their knowledge of special right triangles to find the value...

Students calculate the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. They identify the four different quadrants.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

For this review worksheet, learners read circle graphs and line graphs. They identify quadrants in a coordinate plane and match graphs to their appropriate linear equation. Students find the slope of a line and identify the...

Fourth graders use two activities to draw four different conic sections. One activity is of a physical nature and one is traditional paper and pencil.

Students pretend they have visited a forest research station on an overnight field trip. They study forest fires, use compass directions, read maps, interpret imagery, and think about the impact of fire on ecosystems.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Students investigate plotting coordinates in four quadrants in this activity where they try to hit the bullseye of a target, connect dots, and navigate mazes.

In this exercise, students practice coordinate plane problems in all four quadrants. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students graph ordered pairs in the four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...

Purplemath offers an in-depth lesson on the Cartesian plane. The lesson discusses how to plot points and gives information about the four quadrants. Example problems are given on plotting points and determining the quadrant in which to...
