Using an amusing amusement park, Sam describes how it is a coordinate plane and how to graph an ordered pair. Perfect for beginners, the animation moves on to point out a tip using the first quadrant of an empty coordinate plane.

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.

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...

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate grid. In this graphing activity, students listen as the teacher explains quadrants and ordered pairs. They place their "ships" on the board. The teacher calls...

Get the class batty over graphing. Young mathematicians plot ordered pairs in all quadrants of a Cartesian plane, and connect the points to create a bat.

Quiz your middle and high schoolers on solving exponential growth and decay. First, they evaluate for a variable given the second variables value. Then, they graph an equation that illustrates the exponential growth or exponential decay...

You sank my battleship! The iconic cry of the time-honored game, Battleship will be heard in classrooms with this learning game that requires only grid paper, pencils, and an introductory knowledge of the first quadrant of the coordinate...

Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

This learning exercise 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.

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...

Introduce your fifth graders to the coordinate plane, ordered pairs, and plotting points on any of the four quadrants. This wonderful resource makes preparation for your math class quick and easy. It explains everything the class will...

Here is a lesson on coordinates that has pupils view three Cyberchase video clips illustrating the definition of "point" and "line." Along the way, learners will discuss what characters from the videos do, and where problems lie in...

Your young graphers are motivated by watching three Cyberchase videos to plot points in all four quadrants, connect pairs of points to make a line segment, and find the point of intersection of two lines.

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and...

Introduce your class to the basics of coordinate planes. The reading passage included here describes ordered pairs and the different quadrants on a coordinate grid. Learners read the passage and respond to five related questions.

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flash cards. With a total of forty-eight cards, each are printed in bold font, and include definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include absolute value, ordered...

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...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of ordered pairs as found in Algebra. They are introduced to the data set that corresponds to the coordinate system. Also students practice the graphing the ordered pairs using the x and y axis.

For this ordered pairs worksheet, students solve and graph 6 different graphs that include various ordered pairs. They determine each ordered pair shown in the graphs. Then, students write the letter for the point named by the ordered...

In this ordered pair worksheet, students plot given ordered pairs onto a coordinate plane. Ordered pairs contain both negative and positive numbers. Therefore, all four quadrants of the coordinate plane are used. This one-page...

In this word problem worksheet, 5th graders use a coordinate grid as a map to answer 6 problems. They work with ordered pairs, locate quadrants, and apply the information to find items in the zoo.

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,...

Turn a lesson on the coordinate plane into a class game of battleship with this fun math resource. Providing two coordinate grids and and places to fill in the ordered pairs that are guessed, this activity is a great way...

Go for a walk in the mall. Pupils find distances between stores on a diagram of a mall on Quadrant I. The scholars also determine the midpoint between a store and an entrance to the mall to then create their own paths and determine their...
