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.

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

Show your class some ways to calculate shape translation. They can consider seven shapes on a coordinate grid. Then, they must turn the shapes on the grid given a set of directions on the slides. I would use this for practice or review.

Slide into vector transformations. Column vectors define the translation of figures by defining the number of units to move horizontally and vertically on the coordinate graph. Pupils develop an understanding of how to read the...

For this coordinate geometry worksheet, 4th graders read the coordinates on the grid and write the name of the shape at that location.

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.

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...

Fifth graders use the attached worksheet, Where's My Location? - Directions, to play a game in which they plot points on a grid.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

Young scholars explore graphing. In this math lesson plan, students graph ordered pairs in the coordinate plane, write the coordinates of points shown on a plane, and create designs or pictures using ordered pairs.

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...

Third graders make a grid map. In this directionality lesson, 3rd graders review how to use a grid to locate objects or places on a map. Students draw a grid map of the classroom and locate seating assignments. Students create a grid of...

Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.

Fifth graders explore the four quadrants of a coordinate grid.  In this graphing lesson, 5th graders trace sea shells in each of the four quadrants of a coordinate grid and then label the ordered pairs on each shell.  For the...

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...

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...

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...

Students relate math with real life situations. They identify and plot points on a grid map. They identify and locate the Drop Box Sites.

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...
