Cartesian Coordinates Teacher Resources

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

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

Students are able to identify ordered pairs on coordinate plane, and graph points on a coordinate plane. They are able to write an ordered pair for each of the points on a graph, and create a design or picture using ordered pairs.

Practice reading coordinate planes with a series of graphing worksheets. Kids read questions about symbols and shapes on specific coordinates, then use the answer section to indicate which shape in on the desired coordinates.

Identifying the location of ordered pairs on coordinate planes is the focus in the math lesson presented here. In it, 4th graders are introduced to coordinate pairs, the x/y axis, and the techniques associated with this type of graphing....

What did some Pilgrims wear on top of their heads? Individuals graph sets of ordered pairs, and connect the points to create a mystery Thanksgiving picture.

The teacher diagrams a coordinate plane and identifies the four quadrants. He labels the quadrants with numbers. Then he illustrates a table to identify the positive or negative value of the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate and...

Order is important! An ordered pair is comprised of an x-value, and a y-value. The x-value always comes first. This ordered pair represents a point on a coordinate plane. If the order of the x-value and the y-value are switched then they...

Turn a lesson on the coordinate plane into a class game of battleship with this fun math resource. Providing two coordinate grids and and places to fill in the ordered pairs that are guessed, this activity is a great way...

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

Sometimes the simplest experiments leave the biggest impression! Introduce young chemists to the Cartesian Diver by having them make one of their own. Use the Diver to further their study of liquids and gases, as well as compression.

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.

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

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...

Are you graphing an inequality? What's that dashed line called? It's called a boundary line and it is the line that separates the coordinate plane into two separate half planes.

Are you graphing an inequality? What's that dashed line called? It's called a boundary line and it is the line that separates the coordinate plane into two separate half planes.

A triangle rests in quadrant two, from which your class members must draw reflections, both over x=2 and x=-2. This focused exercise strengthens students' skills when it comes to reflection on the coordinate plane.

Show your class how to rotate a figure 90 degrees clockwise around the origin of a coordinate plane. The lecturer in this video explains the concepts and steps involved in reflecting a figure across the y-axis. Consider providing this...

Show your class how to rotate a figure 90 degrees clockwise around the origin of a coordinate plane. The lecturer explains the concepts and steps involved in reflecting a figure across the y-axis. Consider providing this for learners as...

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...

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, future flight experts plot points to determine whether or not an airplane will fly. With the four forces of weight, lift, drag, and thrust represented in different quadrants, your physics learners...
