Human 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. 

Use a kinesthetic activity to elucidate ordered pairs and coordinate planes. Arrange desks in a square array and distribute to learners cards with ordered pairs based on the locations of their seats. By having various groups of...

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

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.

Here is an activity that merges technology with life skills as individuals use Google Earth to explore the differences between coordinate systems and map projections. The self-guided worksheet is the fourth segment in a nine-part unit....

A clear introduction to slope-intercept form, this would be helpful for learners who are struggling with this concept. You might also provide this instructional video for class members to use as they work on homework or class work. A...

Watch this video and find out how to graph a quadratic equation when it's in intercept form! After going through the different forms of quadratic equations, an instructor leads viewers through an example problem. For the example problem,...

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate. You've been given all the needed information to solve this problem. So all you need to do is plug in the values and solve for the missing variable value.

Given the coordinates for a point on a line and given the slope of that line, write an equation in point-slope form. Really, all that needs to be done is to use the formula for point-slope form and plug in the values.
