This activity guides learners through an exploration of common transformations of the graph of a function. Given the graph of a function f(x), students generate the graphs of f(x + c), f(x) + c, and  cf(x) for...

Working with transformations allows the class to take a turn for the better. The short assessment has class members perform transformations on the coordinate plane. The translations, reflections, and rotations create pattern designs on...

Locating a point on a grid is an important skill to master; use this practice sheet to give schlars some clear and useful experience. On a large, simple grid they use a coordinate system to find specific squares and color them a given...

Do the two-step and use coordinates to move your graph side to side with translations. By using the coordinates as the guide for the shifts, learners graph straight on the worksheet and compare their answers with the key. 

This resource is composed of five separate worksheets on ordered pairs. After plotting each ordered pair, learners label each point, connect the points to create a figure, identify the polygon type, find the perimeter and area of the...

Before learning about the coordinate plane and ordered pairs, have kids get used finding locations on the grid. They are given a simple set of coordinates, which they will locate on the grid. A great way to introduce the concept. 

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

Learners practice using their knowledge of how to interpret a function and use function notation. The activity includes two questions. Given an input of a function and its output, the first question asks learners to write the ordered...

Young scholars solve multi-step equations and apply the process of elimination. For this algebra lesson, students solve linear inequalities and equations using linear combination and evaluation. They graph their results on a number...

Designs from lines are sublime. Scholars create colorful designs by connecting points on an interactive coordinate plane. They answer questions about slope and quadrants based on their designs.

In this algebra instructional activity, learners solve equations for y, graph the equations using the slope and y-intercept, and name four points on the line. There are 20 questions with their graphs.

Students conduct experiments and graph their data. In this statistics lesson, students collect data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They analyze the data looking for patterns and they discuss their findings with the class.

Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

Learners graph linear equations and then find the person in class whose linear equation graph is perpendicular to theirs. In this graphing inequalities lesson plan, students graph their perpendicular slopes and then once their find their...

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

Students identify plots on a graph while playing a game on a large coordinate grid and then on smaller grids.

Students access prior knowledge of coordinates. In this coordinates lesson, students graph coordinate points to create a symmetrical figure and of a straight line. Students complete several practice examples.

Learners explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilaterals lesson, students use the slope formula, midpoint formula, and distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

In this systems of equations worksheet, learners use graphs to solve systems of equations. They determine if the equation contains one solution, no solution, or many solutions. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Students review graphing terminology and how to plot data points, how to input data into a spreadsheet, and how to make a chart using a computer.

Learners graph lines using the calculator. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph lines of equations in the form y=mx+b. They input equations into the TI Calculator and graph using the slope and intercept. They analyze...

Sixth graders examine how to make line graphs.  In this Olympic line graph lesson students make line graphs and search the given Internet sites to find data on their summer Olympic Game. 

Students are given pre-made graph paper. In this algebra lesson, students are given copies of graph paper that can be used to plot points on a coordinate plane already measured out.
