Cartesian Coordinates Teacher Resources

Where does the reflection come from? The vivdeo starts with a quick review of the form of the equation of horizontal and vertical lines and diagonals passing through the origin. Using a pre-image and an image of a reflected figure, the...

Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

Plot the relationship of characteristics of creepy creatures. Learners plot the coordinates to describe the number of eyes, horns, and/or brains different creatures have. Pupils fill out a table to plot the points and complete the...

In this slope of a line worksheet, students solve and graph 2 different problems that include determining the slope of a line using the equation y=mx+b. First, they define the slope of a line and the y-intercept. Then, students use the...

Move vectors to determine their difference. Pupils use an interactive to visualize the opposite of a vector. They use the concept of adding vectors to subtract vectors by adding the opposite and, finally, view the differences of the...

Go for a walk in the mall. Pupils find distances between stores on a diagram of a mall on Quadrant I. The scholars also determine the midpoint between a store and an entrance to the mall to then create their own paths and determine their...

Get your learners up and moving, all while reviewing numbers on the number line! For this activity, learners are grouped in teams outdoors. The teacher will have already created number lines on the ground (with chalk, tape, etc.), and...

First graders watch a video about the seasons. They role play with the teacher the sun and earth. The student's heads are the earth, their foreheads are the Northern Hemisphere. The teacher shines a flashlight on them to simulate the sun...

Middle and high schoolers solve four word problems based on three different graphs of ordered pairs which show the amount of money spent on lunch on particular days. Next, learners are given two equations of functions, and an x value and...

Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...

Offering a comprehensive overview of the beginning of World War II, this resource could be a useful addition to a unit on this topic. It could be used as a way to lead a discussion on the war, or as a review tool before a test. Either...

Are you befuddled after reading this word problem? Not only is it a word problem but there are two variables, and not only does it have two variables, but it is an inequality. Don't pull your hair out! Take a deep breath and watch this...

Watch this video to learn how to find the solution to a system of equations with the substitution method! A teacher will lead you through each step necessary, explaining her steps and the reasoning behind her decisions. After watching...

Trying to write the equation for a horizontal line given an ordered pair? Just keep in mind that a horizontal line is all about the y value in the ordered pair. Plain and simple! Whatever the y value is in the ordered pair becomes the...

There are many ways to solve a quadratic equation. Let's check out how to solve a quadratic equation by graphing. But first, let's find the axis of symmetry and the vertex before making a table of values. Write the values as ordered...

Find the zeros on a given graph of a quadratic equation. What does this mean? It means to find the values at which the parabola crosses the x-axis. It seems pretty straightforward to be able to look at a graph and identify the points at...

If a relation is to be considered a function then the values in the domain can only appear once in the table. It does not matter how many times a value appears in the range. Set up a table using the given values to check and see if the...

Create a table of values based on a given linear equation. Input, output, function. Watch this video and learn how to set up a table to get coordinate points to make a graph of an equation. Make a column of selected x-values. Make a...

A solution set is the set of ordered pairs that are the solutions to a two variable problem. Not sure what all that means? Watch this video and the teacher will explain it clearly.

Another look at solving systems of equations by using the elimination method. In this process, the instructor first uses the distributive property to multiply one of the equations to set it up for the elimination step. Yes, there are...

One in, one out is what functions are about in a video explaining the rules and qualities of these relationships. Have your learners practice with ordered pairs, tables, mapping, and graphs, deciphering whether or not those relationships...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Keep track of your sixth graders' mastery of the Common Core math standards with this practice assessment. Taking a different approach than most standardized tests, this resource includes not only multiple choice questions, but also...

Exponents are number 34897 to the power of 0! The short video explains what a power function is. It also demonstrates how to identify the n portion in a standard, fraction, and square root example.
