The Coordinate Plane

Donnie and Steward each created triangles on a coordinate plane and want to know if they have the same area. Young mathematicians use their ability to plot ordered pairs and find the area of triangles to help answer this...

Monitor young mathematicians' understanding of the coordinate plane with this short writing exercise. Provided with ordered pairs for three points, students must find the coordinates of a fourth point using information about the distance...

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. 

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...

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...

Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

Get the class batty over graphing. Young mathematicians plot ordered pairs in all quadrants of a Cartesian plane, and connect the points to create a bat.

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.

Discover the parallel structure of parallel lines. Provided with two parallel lines on a coordinate plane, the presenter shows that the rise and run, or slope, of the two lines are the same. The resource, which is a portion of a larger...

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...
