What are the Coordinate Axes?

What does a turkey like to eat on Thanksgiving? Nothing, it's already stuffed. Turkey enthusiasts graph points on a Cartesian coordinate system

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.

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.

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. 

Get to the point of planes using an informative video lesson. A thorough lesson describes the components of the coordinate plane including the axes, quadrants, and origin. The facilitator then teaches the process of plotting 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.

Given a linear equation in standard form, find the x-intercept and y-intercept. In this video, Sal shows how to set x = 0 and solve the y-intercept and how to set y = 0 and find the x-intercepts.

Working with a map that does not have a coordinate system on it, small, collaborative teams must come up with a coordinate system for their map. Groups then explain their coordinate structure to the class.

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....
