Sixth graders complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders draw and label a coordinate...

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. In this ordered pairs lesson, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the fish left,...

Elementary schoolers become points on a Cartesian Plane in their classroom. They review ordered pairs, positive and negative coordinates, quadrants, and the x and y axes. Pupils follow commands that help review vocabulary, such as...

Students learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

Take your study of coordinates online! Groups of students complete an online graphing introduction, plotting the points of virtual objects. A worksheet is included for extra practice.

Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

Ninth graders investigate the Cartesian coordinate plane.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the coordinates of a drawing of a fish and examine the effects of moving the drawing on the ordered pairs. Students predict the...

In this coordinates learning exercise, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they write the coordinates of each of the points shown in the diagram. Then, students draw the quadrilateral that is described by...

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Students calculate and find a certain location. In this geometry lesson, students examine a coordinate plane for pair of coordinates. They calculate the distance between point using the distance formula and estimation.

Sinking ships, construction paper, coordinate planes, sounds like fun day in math class. Play the game Battleship with your class and reinforce the concept of graphing ordered pairs.

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Practice solving word problems by interpreting the meaning of points plotted on an xy coordinate system. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Students learn how to plot points on a Cartesian graph. The tutorial explores the algebra concept through notes, examples, and practice exercises.

Demonstrates how to plot ordered pairs of points across all four quadrants of a coordinate plane. Includes practice problems and explanations of their solutions.

Students investigate plotting coordinates in four quadrants in this activity where they try to hit the bullseye of a target, connect dots, and navigate mazes.

Purplemath offers an in-depth lesson on the Cartesian plane. The lesson discusses how to plot points and gives information about the four quadrants. Example problems are given on plotting points and determining the quadrant in which to...

Use this interactive graphing game to practice plotting points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plain.

The parts of the coordinate plane are described and plotting ordered pairs is demonstrated with several examples. The four quadrants of the coordinate plane are also defined.
