Distance estimates would be easy if the world were a grid. Scholars work to determine the distance between two structures using a coordinate plane. As an introduction, the lesson focuses on vertical and horizontal distances.

Teaching learners about latitude and longitude can get a little complicated. Present the concept by first representing it as a graph. Just like finding a location on a graph using the x and y-axis, learners will be able to locate items...

A quick description of a classroom management technique that allows a teacher to choose participants at random. Assigning grid locations is an easy way to reinforce grid structure as well as giveing an easy way to complete tidying tasks,...

Sixth graders examine the work of artist Chuck Close. They create their own image using markers that show a range of values. They develop a grid to replicate those values.

Seventh graders examine the life of artist Chuck Close. They use markers to create an image to show a range of values. They develop a grid to represent these values.

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Sixth graders practice graphing coordinates. In this geometry activity, they use the x and y axis to locate points that must be connected in the right sequence to form a straight line.

For this trigonometry worksheet, students determine whether given mappings are functions. They evaluate 5 functions for a given x value. Students graph 2 functions. They determine which ordered pairs are solutions to given functions....

In this slope worksheet, students use graphing calculators to determine the slope of a line. They graph lines and identify characteristics of positive and negative slopes. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this graphing linear equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 10 different problems that include graphing on the given coordinate planes. First, they determine whether each equation is a linear equation and rewrite it in the...

In this analyzing cubes instructional activity, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they organize the given data into the table provided. Then, students study the patterns in the table and tell whether...

In this graphs of functions worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they graph function f given by the functions shown on the grid. Then, students find the inverse of a function including its...

Seventh graders participate in an artifact bingo game. Before beginning, they label the coordinates of a grid correctly along with symbols. They use the grid to place artifacts in their correct coordinates. They use primary source...

Students work together to grid a 2 x 2 meter unit using the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem. After creating the grid, they identify the location of artifacts and create a map of their location. They develop a graph and table of their...

Students investigate triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the SSS theorem to help identify the triangles that are similar or congruent.

Proofs are usually an intimidating assignment. An engaging lesson focused on geometric proofs may reduce the anxiety! Pupils choose between several triangle proofs to complete and work on completing them. The...

Things are really shaping up! Provide young chemists with polyatomic ion practice using an interesting interactive. Individuals complete puzzles focused on molecular geometry and complex ions.

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

Two videos show first how to perform a rotation, given the center, the angle, and the direction of rotations. Individuals then see how to find what the rotation is from one figure to another. Pupils practice doing both in seven problems...

Double win with a comprehensive worksheet and an excellent worked out answer key. The worksheet itself is twelve pages and begins with the simple sine and cosine graphs, then, develops into the reciprocal trig functions. 

For this middle school mathematics/Algebra I worksheet, students plot points on a coordinate plane.  The one page worksheet contains six problems.  Answers are not provided.

Students discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding coordinates...

Pupils examine how archaeologists establish and maintain the context of artifacts. They interpret a plan view of an archaeological site and explain the importance of the grid system.
