A Rectangle in the Coordinate Plane

Keep young mathematicians on point with this coordinate plane learning exercise. From plotting ordered pairs to identifying the quadrant and coordinates of specific points, this resource covers all the basic skills students need to have...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Make the connection between the distance formula and the equation of a circle. The teacher presents a activity on how to use the distance formula to derive the equation of the circle. Pupils transform circles on the coordinate plane and...

Graphing points is like painting a picture in algebra. Starting with a number line, the video constructs the coordinate plane. The presentation introduces the concept of a coordinate pair as an intersection of the two lines containing...

Discover the parallel structure of parallel lines. Provided with two parallel lines on a coordinate plane, the presenter shows that the rise and run, or slope, of the two lines are the same. The resource, which is a portion of a larger...

Coordinate the classification of quadrilaterals. Given the definitions of special quadrilaterals, a portion of a geometry playlist highlights ways to classify a quadrilateral. The video takes information from figures on a coordinate...

Watch a video intended for teachers to gain pointers, tips, and tricks to teach learners how to graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, and to calculate distances with the distance formula. Additionally, obtain recommendations...

The mechanics of measuring angles is a skill that is often taken for granted in an upper-level math class. This clear and detailed video presentation bridges the gap between identifying angles in geometry, and using their unit-circle...

For this geometry lesson, math scholars brainstorm examples of rotations.  Using the SMARTboard, students observe a rotation. They create their own rotation using graph paper. Finally, pupils complete a worksheet and graph rotations.

Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Students extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.
