Middle schoolers gather leaves and trace them on graph paper. They plot coordinates that approximate the shape of the leaves and share those coordinates as "worksheets" for other students to complete.

Here is a lesson containing a great activity based on coordinates, and the perimeters of shapes created using a given set of coordinates. After youngsters creat a shape on a grid based on some coordinate pairs, they must identify which...

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

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.

For this slope intercept form worksheet, students solve and graph 6 different problems that include identifying the slope and intercepts in each graph. First, they determine the line that has a given x-and y-intercept. Then, students...

In this algebra instructional activity, students compute 4 functions for a given value. They graph 4 functions, and write equations for two graphs. Each function has an exponent as the variable.

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.

Graph transformations, write rules to describe transformations, find coordinates of vertices after given transformations: geometers practice these skills on a two-page worksheet in 14 problems. No answers are provided.

In this angle worksheet, students identify angles and then determine the related angle. Examples are provided. This one-page worksheet contains 36 problems, with answers at the bottom of the page.

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Sinking ships, construction paper, coordinate planes, sounds like fun day in math class. Play the game Battleship with your class and reinforce the concept of graphing ordered pairs.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson plan, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

In this systems of equations activity, students solve systems of equations by graphing.  They identify the intercept of two lines.  This two-page activity contains 12 multi-step problems.  Explanations and examples are...

Students explore coordinates and scale drawings. In this drawing to scale lesson, students discuss symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, geometric, shapes and estimation of size.  Students recreate a portion of a drawing using a...

In this distance activity, students solve 12 multiple choice, short answer, and graphing problems.  Students use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.

Tenth graders draw, label, plot and locate points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define a coordinate plane and identify the different quadrants. They relate coordinate plane to the game of...

Tenth graders graph and plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders define and review properties of a coordinate plane including quadrants, and axes. They graph after the review.

Students determine the missing vertices of quadrilaterals. In this rectangles and trapezoids lesson, students examine the characteristics of quadrilaterals. They identify the missing vertices of a quadrilateral on a coordinate plane.

In this line graph activity, students use data given in a table and assign axes, make a scale, plot data and make a line or curve on their constructed graphs.
