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.

Learners 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...

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...

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...

Here is a instructional activity 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...

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.

Pupils explore the concept of the coordinate plane. In this coordinate plane lesson plan, students discuss integers and their place on the number line. Pupils discuss locating points on the coordinate plane. Students play tic-tac-toe by...

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.

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,...

Learners plot points on a coordinate grid.  In this coordinate plane lesson, students use a coordinate grid to locate the perimeter points of pictures, identify quadrants and use the coordinate points to draw the picture on a blank...

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

Sixth graders complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders draw and label a coordinate...

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II lesson makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process of...

Point your class in the right direction in plotting points with three activities that give scholars a chance to learn about and practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. They draw figures on the coordinate plane and list out the...

Seventh graders identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders discover the correct way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain and...

Here is a resource where algebra learners show their understanding of a system of equations involving a circle and a line. Once graphed, learners see two points of intersection, one where the ordered pair is read, and a second where...

Students gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

In this coordinate grid graphing worksheet, middle schoolers play a game of Battleship on the computer. They answer 21 questions about the coordinate grid and graphing.

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...

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...

Eighth graders explore the coordinate system. They identify the x and y-axis, parts of the coordinate plane, and discuss the process of plotting points. To emphasize the process of plotting points, 8th graders play an ordered pair...
