Mapping a Site Using a 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. 

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 worksheet. From plotting ordered pairs to identifying the quadrant and coordinates of specific points, this resource covers all the basic skills students need to have when...

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 learners...

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...

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.

Everything you need to understand the rectangular coordinate system is explained in this easy to follow video. Great for elementary to middle schoolers learning about plotting points, graphing, and locating points on a coordinate grid....

This video is actually really good. Jim Yang describes the coordinate plane, provides some historical background on its inception, and explains how it is used. Academic vocabulary is used throughout the clip and the visuals used are...

So you need to find the midpoint between two cities on a map. If you know the coordinates of the two cities then you can use a formula to figure out the midpoint. It really is as easy as that. Check out this video to see the formula.

Engage young mathematicians in using their knowledge of the coordinate plane to reduce Baltimore's crime rate with a fun exit card problem. After first using a coordinate grid to graph the ordered pairs corresponding to crime locations,...
