In this coordinate plane learning exercise, students solve 6 word problems, finding x coordinates, ordered pairs, lengths, plot points and height and width of shapes.

Students are told what a coordinate system is and also that it provides a way of uniquely describing each point on a plane or in space. They are given a practice problem along with the equation. Students solve the following problem:...

Ninth graders describe latitude and longitude and how they may be useful to find things on a map.  In this cartography lesson students divide into groups and devise a coordinate system that can be used to communicate a position. 

In this line segments in the coordinate grid practice learning exercise, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distances between two points. Use this Pythagorean Theorem lesson plan to have learners find the distances on a coordinate plane in small groups.

In this graphing worksheet, students graph linear equations on a coordinate plane. Students identify the slope and y-intercept of each problem, find the midpoint of a line, and the distance between given points. Given an equation,...

This activity is basic, but provides a variety of ways for students to practice identifying points on a coordinate graph. Students start by identifying points in various quadrants, and end up naming ordered pairs.

In this linear equations worksheet, students solve 3 multiple choice problems. Students determine if a given point lies on a line given an equation of that line.

In this coordinate grid worksheet, students complete 3 problems related to drawing triangles according to given vertices, moving units and re-drawing, finding coordinates and center points of circles.

For this Cartesian coordinates worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 4 different multiple choice problems. First, they express each of the Cartesian coordinates provided as polar coordinates. Then, students find the Cartesian...

For this coordinate plane worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 30 different problems that include determining various coordinates on a graph. First, they write the ordered pair for each point shown on the grid, naming the quadrant in...

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...

This unit on connecting algebra and geometry covers a number of topics including worksheets on the distance formula, finding the perimeter and area of polynomials, the slope formula, parallel and perpendicular lines, parallelograms,...

As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write the...

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

Two of the best words any one can hear– treasure hunt! Your class will be excited to practice graphing on a coordinate grraph as they identify and write coordinates for landmarks they see on a treasure map. They trace their route to the...

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate plane. In this coordinate graphing lesson, students select a point on their grid to place their "battleship." It the opposing team misses the ship, the...

Students examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.

Eighth graders practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. As a class, they create and label the parts of a graph. Given ordered pairs, they plot the points, connect them to reveal a particular shape, and find the area of the shape.

To work through the complexity of coordinate geometry pupils make the connection between the coordinate plane and the complex plane as they plot complex numbers in the 11th part of a series of 32. Making the connection between the two...

Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...

Add more points on the graph ... and it still remains a line! The 13th installment in a series of 33 leads the class to the understanding that the graph of linear equation is a line. Pupils find several solutions to a two-variable linear...
