Students create a table of values to help them plot. In this algebra lesson plan, students plot their points on a coordinate plane creating a graph. They observe and analyze linear functions.

Provide an introduction to translations and the notation used to denote a translation on the coordinate plane. An independent practice portion provides the pupils several opportunities to practice the skill of translations along...

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

Communication is key. Eight sample items show how important communication and reasoning is for sixth grade mathematics. Part of the Claim 2-4 slide show series, the presentation uses concepts from fifth and sixth grade to illicit...

An instructive lesson provides the basics on how to perform rotations on the coordinate plane. The handout also covers rotating about a point other than the origin and how to perform a series of transformations. 

Investigate the relationship between the slope-intercept form and the slope of the graph. The lesson plan leads an investigation of the slope-intercept equation of a line and its slope. Pupils realize the slope is the same as the...

Does it matter how many points to dilate? The resource presents problems of dilating curved figures. Class members find out that not only do they need to dilate several points but the points need to be distributed about the entire curve...

Determine the slope when the unit rate is difficult to see. The 17th part of a 33-part series presents a situation that calls for a method to calculate the slope for any two points. It provides examples when the slope is hard to...

You'll be spinning in unit circles once you read through this jumbo-sized resource of everything you need to know about trigonometry. Each page has color-coded examples with explicit directions that detail the problems and...

For this coordinate pairs worksheet, students learn to plot points on a graph. Students study the examples and then complete 20 questions. This is intended as an online activity, but may be completed with pencil and paper.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point activity, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders create visuals to help them understand the position of a point, line and plane in space or on a coordinate plane. There are 3 questions.

Teach how graphic designers can use mathematics to represent three-dimensional movement on a two-dimensional television surface. Pupils use matrices, vectors, and transformations to model rotational movement. Their exploration involves...

A straightforward approach to teaching complex numbers, this lesson addresses the concepts of complex numbers, polar coordinates, Euler's formula, De moivres Theorem, and more. It includes a practice problems set with odd answers...

Students 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.

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...

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams lesson, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to measurement,...

In this coordinates worksheet, 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 the given...

In this online math worksheet, students calculate the area of a variety of trapezoids. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching tool!

Students identify and plot points. In this graphing lesson, students use an X and Y coordinate grid to locate missing spacecraft on a coordinate grid sheet.

In this transformations instructional activity, students identify the coordinates of triangle MNO after completing three translations and one reflection. Kids use the triangle MNO with given coordinates to complete each transformation on...

In this transformations worksheet, students review the terms and example diagrams for a translation, reflection, and rotation. Students then identify the coordinates for a triangle after completing the given transformations in the four...

In this treasure hunt worksheet, students fill in the blanks with the correct coordinates. As students fill in the coordinates, they trace their route on a treasure map.
