Simple Coordinates Game
Let coordinate pairs show you the way home. Scholars plot houses on a coordinate plane with given coordinates using an interactive app. Alternatively, they can identify the coordinates of houses already plotted on a coordinate plane.

A Synthesis of Representations of Equivalent Ratio Collections
Make all the ratio representations fit together. The 15th segment in a series of 29 presents ratio problems to solve. Scholars use a variety of representations to respond to the questions. The problem set has pupils show how the...

Where to See an Aurora
Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

CME Plotting
Young scientists build on their previous knowledge and apply it to coronal mass ejections. By plotting the path of two different coronal mass ejections, they develop an understanding of why most don't collide with Earth.

Coordinates on a Shower Curtain: Math
Students use a shower curtain to represent a coordinate plane and then physically demonstrate their understanding or ordered pairs as they move from place to place.

Plotting Data Tables
Students make a table and plot their data on a graph. In this algebra lesson, students graph piecewise functions using the given equations along with the restricted domain. They calculate the rate of change.
Curated OER
Word Problems
Students solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

Matrices and Vectors
In this matrices and vectors learning exercise, students solve 9 various types of problems related to forming matrices and vectors. First, they set up each system of equations listed in matrix form using mathematical notation. Then,...

Graphing and the Coordinate Plane
Students gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Plotting with Pennies
Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.
