Contains a brief introduction to the cartesian coordinate system.

At the end of this lesson about the coordinate grid, young scholars will be able to identify x- and y-axes, point of origin, quadrants, coordinates, and ordered pairs, and read, interpret, and plot points in any of the quadrants.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains the Cartesian coordinate system. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point this site out to students who have...

Practice finding the distance between two points on the coordinate plane that share the same x- or y-coordinate. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A lesson that help students visualize coordinate graphing and discover the four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Students will be able to graph ordered pairs and then make conjectures about the values of x and y coordinates and the...

Students learn how to plot points on a Cartesian graph. The tutorial explores the algebra concept through notes, examples, and practice exercises.

Descriptions of x- and y-coordinates are presented, followed by an interactive game that demonstrates how to plot points on the coordinate plane. Examples and exercises are provided for practice.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you will learn how to convert and graph complex numbers in trigonometric or polar form using the polar coordinate system, which is similar in some ways to (x,...

Given a point on the coordinate plane, input the coordinates (x and y) to check understanding. Coordinates are integer or half-integer to simplify reading the location of the given point.

Students develop and apply the distance formula and an x-y coordinate plane on a hurricane tracking map, and then use a map scale to determine distance in miles. Then, using MATLAB computer science programming language, students help...

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that take a look at the Cartesian (or Rectangular) coordinate system. Provides definitions of ordered pairs, coordinates, quadrants, and x and y-intercepts.

This site from the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center, Syracuse University provides a good five-part basic graphing instructor. Covers all the basics clearly. It is divided into links for easier navigation.

This lesson demonstrates how to find missing x or y coordinate of a segment when given the distance between the two points on a coordinate plane. It is 5 of 4 in the series titled "Finding a Missing Coordinate Using the Distance Formula."

Use this interactive applet to input a series of (x, y) ordered pairs and plot them. Parameters such as minimum and maximum value, minimum and maximum y value, and x- and y-scale can be set by the user or determined by the applet.

The purpose of this task is to help students make the connection between the graphs of sin t and cos t and the x and y coordinates of points moving around the unit circle. Students have to match coordinates of points on the graph with...

This graphing game challenges players to supply the coordinates for points shown on a series of graphs and also to plot pairs of coordinates on simple Cartesian planes.

This lesson demonstrates how to find missing x or y coordinate of a segment when given the distance between the two points on a coordinate plane. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Finding a Missing Coordinate using the Distance Formula."

This lesson demonstrates how to find a missing x or y coordinate of a segment when given the midpoint of the two points on a coordinate plane. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Finding a Missing Coordinate using the Midpoint Formula."

Exponential graphs increase rapidly in the Y direction and will never fall below the X -axis, thus forming a curve.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Students learn to locate the real number solution of a linear equation using tables. They also learn to locate the real number solution of a linear equation using graphical method on a Cartesian (x-y) graph.

Students learn to estimate the solution set, in real numbers, of a linear inequality using graphical methods on a number line and on a Cartesian (x-y) graph. They also learn how to solve inequalities using tables.
