Connecting With Coordinates
Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.
Curated OER
Straight Line Graphs
Students review the techniques of plotting and reading points on a grid. They identify why facts explaining how to read coordinates as well as the importance of the order in which the coordinates are given. Individual practice of...

Transformation of Graphs
In what ways can you transform a graph? An engaging video answers this question as it covers reflections, translations, and stretches of graphs. To test their knowledge, individuals complete a set of problems to apply this knowledge.
Curated OER
Number Pairs
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...

Scale Drawings of Birds
Students create their own copies of Phoenix Birds using a grid system.
Curated OER
Geometry: Helix-a-Graph
Young scholars use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns lesson plan, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Hit or Miss
In this hit or miss learning exercise, students play a game called hit or miss where they draw points on a graph and their partners have to guess where their points are. Students each get a grid and play a game representing battleship.
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...

Naming Points on the Coordinate Plane
In this naming points on the coordinate plane worksheet, students name 6 coordinates off of 6 graphs. Students name the x and y-coordinates of 6 different points in all four quadrants.
Curated OER
Plotting Points
In this coordinate pairs worksheet, students learn to plot points on a graph. Students study the examples and then complete 20 questions. This is intended as an online activity, but may be completed with pencil and paper.
