Coordinate Plane

A quadrilateral is drawn on the coordinate plane, and eighth grade geometers find the length of each side and the diagonals by applying the Pythagorean theorem. 

Sal's goal in this video is to "familiarize ourselves with the x, y-coordinate plane." If your pupils have blank expressions when you present them with graphing problems, this video will be a great help to clear up the basics.

You can't get from point A to point B if you can't find point A. Using a helpful video lesson, viewers learn how to plot points on a coordinate plane. The instructor emphasizes the vertical and horizontal distance of the x and...

The order in ordered pairs is an important descriptor! Young scholars learn how the order of a coordinate pair helps them find its location on a Cartesian plane. The video lesson demonstrates graphing points in each quadrant and explains...

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...

Working with a map that does not have a coordinate system on it, small, collaborative teams must come up with a coordinate system for their map. Groups then explain their coordinate structure to the class.

The class has a brief review of polar and Cartesian coordinates. Then they get to play battleship and discover polar coordinates in more depth. They get a lot of practice converting from polar to Cartesian coordinate points and vice...

Here is a geometry learning exercise in which learners plot the points of a circle onto a coordinate grid and proceed to calculate the area or circumference of the circle. There are four questions.

Do you know how to graph a linear equation? If you do then graphing an inequality will not be a problem for you. There are a couple of differences: is the line solid or dashed, and which half plane do you have to shade. Watch this video...

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