Graphs in the Coordinate Plane: Functions on a Cartesian Plane

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Graphs in the Coordinate Plane: Functions on a Cartesian Plane interactive also includes:
  • Graph a Function from a Table: An Explanation
  • Graph a Function from a Table: An Application
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

Connect the dots to graph a linear function. Young mathematicians use an interactive to first plot provided points on a coordinate plane. They connect these points with a line and then answer questions about the slope and y-intercept of this linear function.

Instructional Ideas

  • Use the review questions in the tutorial as either classwork or homework depending on available time

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners should have experience with linear functions
  • Instructors will need to set up free CK-12 accounts

Pros

  • Provides an instructional tutorial, including a link to a YouTube video
  • Gives instant feedback for machine-scored challenge questions

Cons

  • There may be some confusion as the instructions indicate a gray box, but the box is not gray in the interactive
