Locating a point on a grid is an important skill to master; use this practice sheet to give schlars some clear and useful experience. On a large, simple grid they use a coordinate system to find specific squares and color them a given...

In this plotting points on a graph learning exercise, students plot 6 points on 6 graphs.  Students plot x and y-coordinates in the first quadrant.

In this ordered pairs worksheet, students use the graph and write the letter of the point for each ordered pair. Students then write the ordered pair for the given points. Students then answer the six grid location questions.

To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...

Navigate the world of orienteering in an informative interactive. Earth science scholars learn practical direction skills, such as proper polar coordinates and pairing compasses with maps. The interactive map allows them to practice...

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

In this coordinate grid graphing worksheet, students play a game of Battleship on the computer. They answer 21 questions about the coordinate grid and graphing.

Students use a shower curtain to represent a coordinate plane and then physically demonstrate their understanding or ordered pairs as they move from place to place.

Fifth graders examine the geographic concept of absolute location. Using a variety of resources, they create a life-size classroom grid and locate the coordinates of a point, identify latitude and longitude of different locations, and...

Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...

In this coordinate grid graphing worksheet, students plot the given points onto each of 6 coordinate grids. All points are located in quadrant 1. One point is plotted on each grid. Answers are given by clicking the appropriate place on...

Young scholars practice identifying points on a coordinate plane, creating charts, and calculating ratios. In groups, students play a "battleship" game where they determine the location of their own fleet and attempt to find the...

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...

In this coordinates worksheet, 6th graders solve ten multiple choice questions by using their knowledge of coordinates on a grid. This is an interactive worksheet.

Young scholars explore the coordinate plane.  In this middle school/Algebra I lesson, students use dice with numbers and signs to play a game in which they must locate points on a coordinate plane.  Young scholars work in teams...

In this ordered pairs worksheet, learners place candy shaped markers on a grid sheet. They roll the dice to form an ordered pair. They place a marker on that grid square and take the candy piece if there is one located there.

Find the distance between various locations in a neighborhood. Scholars use the interactive to find distances between locations on a map. The map is overlaid onto a grid to provide coordinates for each location, and pupils apply...

Second graders find places on a coordinate grid.

Where this lesson idea is lacking in materials, it makes up for with creativity! Using "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" as the background, mathematicians plot points on a coordinate grid to create props for the story. The polygons all...

Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

Challenge the young mathematicians to find the exact coordinates of a dilated point. The fifth segment in a 16-part series introduces the class to the converse of the Fundamental Theorem of Similarity. Scholars use the theorem to...

High schoolers explore map and plotting skills by tracing the movement s of hurricanes through the Earth's systems. a hurricane map is developed from daily media reports.

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...

Pupils practice locating points on a large wall grid and create and label a neighborhood map. In this geography lesson, students spell and discuss places as the teacher places them on the map. They discuss the concept of an alphanumeric...
