Curated OER
An Introduction to the Coordinate Plane
In this geometry activity, students plot points on a coordinate plane and identify the different quadrants each point is in. They have to be able to identify coordinate pairs, given the points on the graph. There are 62 questions.
Curated OER
Gradients of Parallel Line Segments
In this gradient activity, students draw line segments and determine if they are parallel. They plot points on a coordinate plane and calculate the gradient of each created line. This five-page activity contains 8 multi-step problems....

Points in the Complex Plane -- Lab
Middle schoolers review the lecture portion of this lesson. Individually, they graph various points on a complex plane and identify conjugates based on their location on the graphs. They complete a worksheet and review their answers to...
Curated OER
Linear Equations Data Tables
Students graph linear equations on a Cartesian plane. After describing data tables and their use, students explore how the information from a table can be used to create a line graph. They discuss reasons for plotting a minimum of...
Curated OER
Weather Plots
Learners investigate the relationship between temperature and humidity. The graphs of weather data gathered and plotted for for an assigned period of time are analyzed and the interpretations shared with the class.
Curated OER
Identifying Points in the Coordinate Plane
In this ordered pairs worksheet, students identify 6 ordered pairs given a coordinate plane. Students list the ordered pair given the graph.
Curated OER
Graph Functions: Practice
In this graph functions worksheet, students complete several activities to help them graph functions. Students use the table and the graph to complete the questions. Students also answer two test prep questions.
Curated OER
Graphs and Ellipses
Students explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.

Coordinates
Young graphers decide where to plot a point given a specific ordered pair. The problems vary in difficulty, beginning with simpler coordinates, and ending with plotting and connecting coordinates. Each graph is labeled with the...

What’s Your Coordinate?
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...
Concord Consortium
Function Project
What if a coordinate plane becomes a slope-intercept plane? What does the graph of a linear function look like? Learners explore these questions by graphing the y-intercept of a linear equation as a function of its slope. The result is a...

Center of Population
Let the resource take center stage in a lesson on population density. Scholars use provided historical data on the center of the US population to see how it shifted over time. They plot the data on a spreadsheet to look the speed of its...
