This site discusses coordinates in the Cartesian plane. The site gives some fundamental terms involving Cartesian coordinates and a graph with the origin and a point labeled. Be sure to follow the links to related terms, everyday...

Using Cabri Jr. and the properties of rotations to get a true understanding of how a figure is rotated about a point.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center, the coordinate plane, and the use of symbolic rules to represent, analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns. Students can use Activity Center to model and interpret relationships...

A performance task where students fill in the missing values on a table, plot the corresponding points in the coordinate plane, and find the two unit rates that are associated with this proportional relationship.

This lesson demonstrates how an object can be rotated in space and on a coordinate plane about different points. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Rotating On a Coordinate Plane."

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students can move points in a circle to determine the standard equation from the raidus and center. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

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.

Identify coordinates of points in the first quadrant. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains the Cartesian coordinate system. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point this site out to students who have...

Students answer questions about graphing points, quadrants and axes, and finding the coordinates of a point in this jeopardy style game.

Graph and find the distance between point in first quadrant of coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this video segment [2:10] from Cyberchase, Digit must make a straight line between the two points and then follow the path created.

In this exercise, students practice performing translations on a coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

In this exercise, students practice performing reflections on a coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

Students move their cursor in this activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x...

For this task, students are shown a unit circle in a plane and an angle measured from the x-axis. They must determine the coordinates of the line segment for the angle and answer a question about the sum of the coordinates. The purpose...

A picture is shown to represent a position vector in three dimensions. The page explains that a position vector may be named at any point along a curve, and the criterion for a position vector.

This activity will help you to visualize the representation of a point in a Cartesian plane and in a polar plane.

This lesson focuses on the relationship between algebraic, graphical, and contextual expressions of linear equations.

Find the distance between a point and a plane using the algebraic formula for the plane and the Cartesian points. This MathWorld page has a labeled diagram to help clarify the equation variables.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will move points on a circle to explore standard equations when given the radius and center. Click challenge me to answer practice problems and click learn more to watch a video.

The students will use a "real" 3D coordinate system. They will have 3 axes at right angles, and a plane (the XY plane) that will be able to slide up and down the Z axis. The students will then be given several coordinates and asked to...

Given a picture of a triangle on a coordinate grid, students are asked to find the coordinates of points which divide line segments in a given ratio. Aligns with G-GPE.B.6 and G-SRT.B.5.

This Java applet allows the user to name any two points in a Cartesian system, see the segment on the screen and view how the distance between the two points is found.
