In this ordered pairs worksheet, students identify 6 ordered pairs given a coordinate plane.  Students list the ordered pair given the graph.

With problems applying to modern-day topics like Netflix and McDonald's, math whizzes analyze graphs and investigate the slopes. In this algebra worksheet, learners identify the slope and y-intercept of the given equations. They graph...

Where this instructional activity idea is lacking in materials, it makes up for with creativity! Using "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" as the background, mathematicians plot points on a coordinate grid to create props for the story. The...

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Where in the world (or at least in the coordinate plane) is the third vertex? Given two coordinate points for the vertices of a triangle, individuals find the location of the third vertex. They read an account of fictional...

For beginning point plotters, these graphs give a good introduction. They examine a graph with shapes drawn onto it and each vertex labeled. There are 20 total, and scholars write the coordinates of each labeled point. All of these are...

Pupils determine the pattern in collinear points in order to determine the next point in a sequence. Using the definition of slope, they practice using the slope formula, and finish the activity with three different ways to...

Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated or...

In this slope of a line instructional activity, students solve and graph 2 different problems that include determining the slope of a line using the equation y=mx+b. First, they define the slope of a line and the y-intercept. Then,...

Limits are made easy through graphs and tables. An easy-to-use interactive lets users change a function on a coordinate plane. They relate graphs and tables to the limit at a specific value.

Mystery is an exciting genre for young readers to investigate. The plots are so intriguing! Here is a series of lessons featuring Sherlock Holmes stories that invite learners to enter the world of the mystery genre.  Based on what...

In this plotting points on a graph worksheet, students plot 6 points on 6 graphs.  Students plot x and y-coordinates in the first quadrant.

Fourth graders discover how to apply the Cartesian coordinate system by figuring out the length and width of their school playground. They determine that pacing is an important tool for the initial mapping of a site. Students conduct a...

Middle and high schoolers solve 14 problems that include finding the distance between two points in different situations. First, they refer to a number line to find the measure of each point on the line. Then, pupils refer to the...

The class examines graphs in the form r = F(¿¿) in polar coordinates (r, ¿¿), in particular with the circle, ellipse and other conic sections. They determine the nature of an ellipse by studying the role of the semimajor axis and...

Students sit in 25 desks arranged in a square array. They are a human coordinate plane and each of them is to receive a card with an ordered pair (x,y) on it. They who are not seated distribute the ordered pair cards to the appropriate...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders identify and graph points on a coordinate plane, determine the x-and y-intercepts of a linear equation, and graph linear equations.  The six page worksheet contains nineteen problems. ...

Collaborative learners will see the geometric addition of functions by graphing the sum of two graphed curves on the same coordinate plane. This task then naturally flows into giving learners the algebraic representation of the curves...

Students review plotting points on a coordinate plane. Individually, they add and subtrace complex numbers and graph them in a complex plane. They follow along a worksheet while their teacher lectures on the new material and solve...

Students explore graphing. In this math lesson plan, students graph ordered pairs in the coordinate plane, write the coordinates of points shown on a plane, and create designs or pictures using ordered pairs.

Fifth graders explore the four quadrants of a coordinate grid.  In this graphing lesson, 5th graders trace sea shells in each of the four quadrants of a coordinate grid and then label the ordered pairs on each shell.  For the...

Students compare the costs of two cellular phone plans and determine the best rate. They use a table and a graph of points plotted on a Cartesian plane to display their findings. Students write an equation containing variables that could...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.
