Plotting Coordinates
In this coordinates worksheet, learners plot sets of coordinates, connected them and creating letters. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
First-Quadrant Grids
In this math learning exercise, students analyze six first-quadrant grids. Students use the grids for a variety of activities, including plotting points.

X & Y Coordinates
Students identify and plot points. For this graphing lesson, students use an X and Y coordinate grid to locate missing spacecraft on a coordinate grid sheet.
Curated OER
Grids
In this geometry instructional activity, students plot and label 8 sets of points and triangles on a grid using coordinate pairs. They use both positive and negative numbers.
