Graphing and the Coordinate Plane

Monitor young mathematicians' understanding of the coordinate plane with this short writing exercise. Provided with ordered pairs for three points, learners must find the coordinates of a fourth point using information about the distance...

Donnie and Steward each created triangles on a coordinate plane and want to know if they have the same area. Young mathematicians use their ability to plot ordered pairs and find the area of triangles to help answer this...

How long will it take to save up for those $150.00 shoes? Shoppers use proportional relationships to determine the answer based on a savings of $7.00 per week. They also graph and come up with an algebraic equation for the relationship...

Building on their prior knowledge about patterns, this series of worksheets introduces young mathematicians to graphing in the coordinate plane. Using written descriptions of different numerical patterns, learners create sets of order...

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...

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...

Class members investigate rectangles on the coordinate plane. They determine the length of line segments in the coordinate plane with the same x-coordinate or same y-coordinate and then solve geometric problems involving perimeter and...

Learners solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they find the gradients of the lines and plot the given points. Then, they complete the table of values for each equation and use the table to draw the graph. 

Use prior knowledge to plot an ordered pair on a Cartesian plane. Children chart an original picture of themselves by charting their points. They also apply this skill to longitude and latitude. A quiz helps assess their understanding.

When class members solve ratios, they may not think of using a graph to find the solution. Now, they can see how a ratio relates to a coordinate plane by plotting the points. It provides a good review of graphing and the steps needed to...
