The Coordinate Plane

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...

Locating a point on a grid is an important skill to master; use this practice sheet to give schlars some clear and useful experience. On a large, simple grid they use a coordinate system to find specific squares and color them a given...

Similar to the game Battleship®, partners try and determine where the opponent buried their treasures on the hidden coordinate plane. Two types of planes are provided, one with only quadrant one and one with all four for a higher...

There are 12 symbols on this large grid, and scholars must record a location for each. They use the coordinate pair system which is made easier because every symbol is directly inside a square. Use this to introduce coordinate pair...

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and...

Spruce up graphing practice with an activity that has young mathematicians plot points on a coordinate plane, and then connect the points to create a Christmas tree.

Introduce your class to the basics of coordinate planes. The reading passage included here describes ordered pairs and the different quadrants on a coordinate grid. Learners read the passage and respond to five related questions.

Learners map their playground as if it were an archeological site. They locate objects on the playground and determine their location using coordinate points. A related lesson is Coordinate Grid: Mapping an Archeological Site.

Watch a video intended for teachers to gain pointers, tips, and tricks to teach learners how to graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, and to calculate distances with the distance formula. Additionally, obtain recommendations...

Take your study of coordinates online! Groups of students complete an online graphing introduction, plotting the points of virtual objects. A worksheet is included for extra practice.
