Reflecting a Triangle in the Coordinate Plane
Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.
Curated OER
Line 'Em Up!
Young scholars 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...
