Map Coordinates: Monkey Map
Here's an engaging, meaningful, and clever instructional activity on map skills for elementary schoolers. Pupils combine story writing with mapping skills to create an original piece of work. They utilize a worksheet embedded in the plan...
Curated OER
Coordinates
Learners identify and label the coordinate planes by the four different quadrants. In this geometry lesson, students plot an ordered pair correctly. They identify and differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.
Curated OER
Coordinate Graphs
Students use coordinate graphs in order to identify objects and their locations. They are shown how to plot the x and y coordinates and then are given values to be plotted during guided and independent practice. Students are assessed on...
Curated OER
Human Coordinate Plane
Pupils sit in 25 desks arranged in a square array. They are a human coordinate plane and each of them is to receive a card with an ordered pair (x,y) on it. They who are not seated distribute the ordered pair cards to the appropriate...
Curated OER
Cartesian Baseball
Learners are told what a coordinate system is and also that it provides a way of uniquely describing each point on a plane or in space. They are given a practice problem along with the equation. Students solve the following problem:...

Coordinates on a Plane
In this coordinates on a plane worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 9 different types of problems. First, they graph the given coordinates and respond to a number of questions. Then, students find the midpoint and the length of the...
Curated OER
Graphing on a Coordinate Grid
Students work in groups to create a graph on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson plan, students analyze data and put it into their graph by plotting points.
Curated OER
Transforming Snoopy Using Coordinates
Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid. Students graph a surprise picture on...
Curated OER
Graphing Greenery
Students 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.
Curated OER
Twists and Turns
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...
Curated OER
Geometry: Transformations Practice
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.
Curated OER
The Coordinate Plane
In this coordinate plane worksheet, students identify and name ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They plot and label points on a coordinate plane. This one-page worksheet contains 23 problems.
Curated OER
Making an Alien Mask Using Coordinate Pairs
In this math instructional activity, students create an alien mask and practice graphing coordinate pairs. Students follow the directions to plot coordinates on an x and y axis. When they are finished students will see an alien face...
Curated OER
Floor Pong
Set up small courts and use ping pong paddles to practice hand-eye coordination. Use the same rules as if you were playing on a ping pong table or mix up the rules and allow the ball to bounce twice. Sounds like a fun way to...
Special Olympics
Train at School
Here is a fantastic compilation of adaptive physical education lesson plans that cover the major concepts of physical fitness, including: aerobic endurance, balance, coordination, flexibility, power, speed and agility, and...
Curated OER
The Sentence
Introduce learners to the wonders and variations found in sentence writing. Several sentence types are defined and exemplified in each slide. Simple, complex, and compound sentences, as well as coordination and subordination are all...
Curated OER
Escher-Esque Tessellations
Middle and high schoolers participate in a seven-part lesson creating Escher-Esque tessellations. They demonstrate their knowledge of geometric transformations after viewing a PowerPoint presentation, conducting Internet research, and...
Curated OER
Connecting Ideas Using Coordinating
Students recognize and use coordinating junctions. They also explore subordinating conjunctions.
Curated OER
Help Mary Find Her Way Home
Students discover the first quadrant of the coordinate plane by using coordinate points to give directions. They show a lost girl the way home using coordinate points. They add definitions to their math journals.
Curated OER
Midpoints and Segment Congruence
In this midpoint worksheet, students use a number line to find the midpoint of a line segment. Next, they find the midpoint of a line using the coordinate plane. Examples of how to use each method are given at the beginning of the...
Curated OER
Functions, Domains and Composites
In this functions, domains and composites worksheet, students solve and complete 23 various types of problems. First, they graph the given trigonometric function on a coordinate plane. Then, students label three points on each graph and...
Curated OER
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.
Curated OER
Geometry: Translations and Reflections
Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson plan, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated...
Curated OER
Fall Plowing: Drawing to Scale
Middle schoolers explore coordinates and scale drawings. In this drawing to scale lesson plan, students discuss symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, geometric, shapes and estimation of size. Middle schoolers recreate a portion of a...
