In this plotting points worksheet, students are given eight points to plot on a coordinate plane. Afterward, they plot eight additional points and then translate the points according to given instructions. This one-page worksheet...

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson, students listen as the teacher explains quadrants and ordered pairs. They place their "ships" on the board. The teacher calls...

Eighth graders explore the coordinate system. They identify the x and y-axis, parts of the coordinate plane, and discuss the process of plotting points. To emphasize the process of plotting points, 8th graders play an ordered pair...

Fifth graders locate points on a coordinate plane. Through lecture and observation, they discover the parts of the coordinate plane and how to plot an ordered pair. Students locate x and y values in an ordered pair.

In this plotting points instructional activity, students solve 6 word problems, plotting sets of points as directed in each problem. Students write ordered pairs, determine "what went wrong" in a problem, and answer reasoning questions.

Students work in groups to create a graph on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson plan, students analyze data and put it into their graph by plotting points.

Take a coordinated look at rectangles. The task asks pupils to plot the length and width of created triangles in the coordinate plane. Using their plots, scholars respond to questions about rectangles and their associated points on the...

Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated or...

One quadrant just isn't enough. Pupils learn to plot points in the four quadrants of a coordinate plane using an interactive. A set of challenge questions tests their understanding of the skill.

Slopes are not just for skiing. Instructors introduce class members to the concept of slope and teach them how to calculate the slope from a graph or from points. The lesson also includes the discussion of slopes of parallel and...

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

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 investigate linear functions. In this mathematics activity, students plot points onto a graph by solving the equations y=x and y=mx+b by being given numbers for x and solving for y.

Elementary and middle schoolers engage in a lesson of graphing in quadrant I of the coordinate plain. They use the graph to create shapes and symbols. While using a graphing calculator, they locate the points on the coordinate plane. In...

In this plotting points worksheet, high schoolers plot 18 points in the 3-D plane.  Students plot points on a graph given a point.

In this coordinate plane worksheet, students identify and name ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They plot and label points on a coordinate plane. This one-page worksheet contains 23 problems.

Students use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns instructional activity, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Here is a lesson plan on coordinates that has pupils view three Cyberchase video clips illustrating the definition of "point" and "line." Along the way, learners will discuss what characters from the videos do, and where problems...

In this coordinate grid graphing activity, 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 gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Your Algebra learners will appreciate this fabulous, two-page printable. The first page has a list of numbers that lead to the learners writing an equation in a cloud that represents these numbers, and then filling in a table, and...

In this coordinates worksheet, students analyze two maps and identify the coordinates of ten specific locations. Students plot sixteen points on a graph and check their answers online at the end of each exercise.

Your middle schoolers will show what they know with their bodies when they become the coordinate plane in this conceptual development unit. Starting with the characteristics of the coordinate plane, learners develop their skills by...

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...
