Pupils study map grids and explore how they can be used to locate positions of objects or features on a map. They read a story and then participate in a grid activity using a large map of the setting of the story.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to develop a formula to find that distance. They then find the midpoint using an average formula. 

Discover different dimensions with paper folding. Pupils first read about zero, one, two, and three dimensions, and then learn about the fourth dimension, time. They then use origami to create models of shapes in three dimensions and use...

Plot the relationship of characteristics of creepy creatures. Learners plot the coordinates to describe the number of eyes, horns, and/or brains different creatures have. Pupils fill out a table to plot the points and complete the...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Learners review polar coordinates, as well as translations and rotations in Cartesian Coordinates. They also watch a video on conics and write a summary of the video for a quiz grade. Students then find an equation after a...

Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.

Young scholars solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their...

In this algebra test, learners must determine 3 definitions, match 4 equations to the answer, 4 short answer, and graph 4 points on a coordinate plane. There are 20 questions total.

This is a cool math activity. Kids collect and interpret data based on a physical act. A board is balanced between a scale and a step, learners record a peer's weight as it decreases while s/he walks further away from the scale. They...

In this graphs worksheet, students solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they determine the range of the function of the graph shown and write in interval notation. Then, students find the domain of the function in the...

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...

In this grids worksheet, students learn about grids, or coordinate plants, axes, coordinates, plotting and ordered pairs. They then complete the 5 questions using what they learned. The answers are on the last page.

In this math activity, students explore coordinate graphing by analyzing a graph which has points plotted on both positive and negative sides. Students locate the points indicated and write the ordered pairs. There are no instructions or...

In this division and multiplication worksheet, students play a game where they solve a division problem and turn it into a multiplication problem using coordinates. Students complete 16 problems.

In this pi worksheet, students identify and complete 4 different problems that include pi and graphing data points. First, they complete the chart at the top by measuring the diameter and circumference of each object. Then, students plot...

For this ordered pairs worksheet, learners 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 rise over run worksheet, students solve and complete 2 different problems that include determining the rise over run for a race ran. First, they use the information in the table to graph each person's performance using a...

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

Can your class solve linear equations in two variables? They will be able to after they engage in this lesson. Individuals graph linear equations in two variables using slope and intercept and identifying the relationship between the x...

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

Students evaluate equations and identify graphs. In this statistics lesson, students identify plotted points on a coordinate plane as having a positive, negative or no correlation. They complete basic surveys, plot their results and...

What happens when rotating an image 180 degrees? The sixth lesson in the series of 18 takes a look at this question. Learners discover the pattern associated with 180-degree rotations. They then use transparency paper to perform the...

Young geometers develop one of the fundamental properties of quadrilaterals (connecting side midpoints gives a parallelogram) in this short but thought-provoking exercise. Using a combination of hands-on techniques and abstract algebraic...
