In this addition instructional activity, students say answers to addition problems as quickly as possible, using coordinates that match addition problems. A website reference is given for additional activities. 

High schoolers play games as they review math concepts on grids. In this algebra lesson plan, students review quadrants and other parts of a coordinate system as they play a game. They must finish a word problem by making their final...

A geometry game that resembles Battleship is the foundation for hide and seek where "hiders" draw shapes on coordinate planes and "seekers" must guess the shape and its location based on questions and clues. Reproducible, paper-sized...

Classmates apply midpoint concepts by leapfrogging around the complex plane. The 12th lesson in a 32 segment unit, asks pupils to apply distances and midpoints in relationship to two complex numbers. The class develops a formula to find...

Play a game of capture the points. Young scholars receive a number line with specific points graphed and must write an inequality that captures all the points. The second task of the algebra project is to write an inequality with...

Young scholars investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.

This fun presentation includes instructions for a grid game, where the child must follow directions to uncover the hidden treasure. They make Mr. Smiley move up, down, right, and left on the grid until he's reached the...

Students calculate the midpoint of a line. In this geometry activity, students identify the different parts of the coordinate plane. They use the midpoint formula to find the middle of segments between a pair of coordinates.

Young scholars practice throwing and catching jacks to improve their hand-eye coordination. In groups, they participate in a variety of games in which they use the jacks to improve their problem solving skills. To end the activity, they...

Learners explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Learners place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

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.

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and finding the...

Sketch graphs with the Graph Sketcher. Scholars graph functions on a coordinate plane. An interactive makes it as easy as inputting the function and clicking a button.

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 secondary mathematics learning exercise, students determine each word played during a Scrabble game.  They are given a mat clue for each word played and determine the correct placement on the board and the score at the end...

Young environmentally conscious mathematicians solve a variety of problems related to the central theme of uncovering illegal logging activities. They determine a base camp based on given constraints, investigate logging activities and...

Introduce your class to the federal tax system through an algebraic lens. This resource asks pupils to examine the variable structure of the tax system based on income. Young accountants use equations, expressions, and inequalities to...

In this money instructional activity, students fill up a grid with coins and then roll dice to get ordered pairs and take the money of the ordered pair that they roll. Students then add up their money in the end and see who wins.

Fourth graders explore triangles. For this math lesson, 4th graders discuss the different types of triangles. Students create triangles using wiki sticks. Students complete an online matching game.

In this ordered pairs worksheet, students 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.

In this linear equation worksheet, 5th graders complete the equations, and fill in the function tables, before graphing the equation on the coordinate planes in 4 problems . They use equations with variables to solve 2 problems.

Eighth graders investigate concepts related to Cartesian Coordinates. They use a creative game at the beginning of the lesson to identify quadrants by passing candy to one another. The rest of the lesson is using vocabulary and problem...

In this graphing worksheet, students play a game called Capture the Penguin where they put their penguins onto a graph with another player, roll dice to form ordered pairs, and start eliminating penguins. Students look at the scoring...

Students examine the characteristics of a Cartesian coordinate system. They use the game of baseball to help reinforce the topic. They develop a coordinate system for the desks in their classroom.
