Instructional Ideas
- Incorporate translations while learners are being graphed
- Have the class calculate the distance between points, or the area as an extension activity
- Some students can do multiple shapes if the class size is smaller
- Use chalk instead of rope for the coordinate plane
Classroom Considerations
- Coordinates for the problems and graph paper only use the first quadrant
- Laminating cards prior to use is recommended
Pros
- Promotes outdoor learning
- Team work is necessary to graph the accurate shape
Cons
- None
