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...

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...

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...

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...

Use a graphing lines worksheet to have your mathematicians graph the line of a given equation and plot specified points. The first 10 problems have a given equation, and two values. The next 10 problems have a given equation, but your...

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...

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.

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.

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...
