Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Young scholars extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

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...

Find out what picture is hidden in this graph and work on coordinate graphing with this worksheet! Learners plot 66 ordered pair points on a Cartesian graph, then connect the dots to make a picture. This would work as an in-class...

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.

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.

An excellent way to teach the basics of coordinate graphing is here for you! Young mathematicians take on the identity of one of the two numbers in a coordinate pair, and the entire class must arrange themselves in the proper order. This...

Represent ratios using a variety of methods. Classmates combine the representations of ratios previously learned with the coordinate plane. Using ratio tables, equations, double number lines, and ordered pairs to represent...

Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...

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.

Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of the coordinate plane with this series of skills practice worksheets. Offering 10 different exercises that involve identifying ordered pairs,...

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...

Introduce your fifth graders to the coordinate plane, ordered pairs, and plotting points on any of the four quadrants. This wonderful resource makes preparation for your math class quick and easy. It explains everything the class will...

Youngsters use a graphing calculator to assist in creating a function table. They graph the function on a coordinate plane. They explore the relationship between the domain and range in the graph. This four-page worksheet contains two...

In this intersecting planes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 27 various types of problems. First, they use the diagrams at the right to answer each of the questions. Then, students measure each angle shown and classify them as...

Students 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:...

In this complex plane worksheet, students describe definitions words relating to a complex plane and point sets. They give examples for each definition. This two page worksheet contains thirteen problems.

Students 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...

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.

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

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...

In this coordinate plane activity, students identify and name ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They plot and label points on a coordinate plane. This one-page activity contains 23 problems.

As the green squares are removed, a little piece of the puzzle is revealed. What is it? A square, a triangle, a cow? Have your class guess their way to identifying five different plane shapes.

How many of 2-D or plane shapes can your class identify? Can they get them all? Little learners view and review the names of nine different shapes, such as rectangle, square, triangle, and circle, to name a few.
