Class members investigate rectangles on the coordinate plane. They determine the length of line segments in the coordinate plane with the same x-coordinate or same y-coordinate and then solve geometric problems involving perimeter...

Where this 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 polygons all...

Students explore a variety of objects which represent the various seasons as a preparation for writing about their birthday and the season in which it is located.

Learners are given a graph of a parabola on a coordinate system, but intercepts and vertex are not labeled. The task is to analyze eight given quadratic functions and determine which ones might possibly be represented by the graph. The...

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Pupils practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers by fractions. They study the multiplicative identity property that states that the product of any number and 1 is that number. They multiply whole numbers by fractions close to 1 and...

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Examine a coordinated geometry grid to decode the hidden message. Pupils write a coded message to their parents using letter coordinates from the grid.

Sinking ships, construction paper, coordinate planes, sounds like fun day in math class. Play the game Battleship with your class and reinforce the concept of graphing ordered pairs.

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

Young scholars define functions to be graphed using the Y=key. They demonstrate how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They discuss and explore mathematical questions on a worksheet.

In this definite integral worksheet, students use substitution to simplify integrals. They find the values of the upper and lower points and interpret points found on a graph. Students solve this two-page worksheet.

Take your study of coordinates online! Groups of students complete an online graphing introduction, plotting the points of virtual objects. A worksheet is included for extra practice.

Middle schoolers explore the concept of the coordinate plane. In this coordinate plane lesson, students discuss integers and their place on the number line. Middle schoolers discuss locating points on the coordinate plane. Students play...

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. In this ordered pairs lesson, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the fish left,...

Overall, this worksheet contains a good selection of problems that reviews different aspects of linear equations. Learners examine and graph linear equations, absolute value equations, and inequalities in two variables. The three page...

Fourth graders explore triangles. In this math lesson, 4th graders discuss the different types of triangles. Students create triangles using wiki sticks. Students complete an online matching game.

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

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

Students identify foods that they associate with different cultural groups in which they are members and speculate possible connections between specific foods and the cultures in which they are popular. They also explore the importance...

High schoolers explore the connections between food and culture by investigating the cultural influences, preparation, and historical ties of the food that people eat. They comprehend how geography and climate effects what people eat...

Students find the coordinates of the vertices of special quadrilaterals placed in the coordinate plane. They find the coordinates of missing vertices of squares and parallelograms.
