The 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. 

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...

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.

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...

In this coordinate graphing activity, youngsters solve four problems where they locate points on a coordinate graph and write the ordered pair for each point. They solve fopur problems where they are given four ordered pairs from a...

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....

The teacher diagrams a coordinate plane and identifies the four quadrants. He labels the quadrants with numbers. Then he illustrates a table to identify the positive or negative value of the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate and...

Sharing is caring, and sharing in equal parts gets easier when Linear Functions are applied. Learners work in groups to determine equal candy bar shares among various numbers of people. They complete a data chart and plot points in a...

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...
