Coordinate Geometry Teacher Resources

Don't be a square! Young mathematicians determine the slope and length of a line segment. They then prove whether four given coordinate points form a square.

Translating complex numbers is as simple as adding 1, 2, 3. In the ninth lesson in a 32-part series, the class takes a deeper look at the geometric effect of adding and subtracting complex numbers. The resource leads pupils into what it...

Students use Cartesian coordinates to plot current natural disasters. They relate location of natural disasters to their specific major project countries. Students tie in geometry within this lesson as connected to spatial relationships...

Students investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the world....

Young scholars use Cartesian coordinates or degrees of latitude and longitude to locate important locations within their specific countries. They Use a grid to apply the concept of latitude and longitude, or positive and negative...

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...

Students identify different properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students complete problems that proves the theorems and properties of parallelograms. They graph the different shapes on paper.

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students investigate the Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Young scholars differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students investigate the relationship between angles of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of right and non-right triangles. They differentiate between vertical and supplementary angles.

Learners find missing angles and sides of triangles. In this geometry activity, students create intersecting lines to measure angles. They use Cabri Software to create virtual angles.

Pupils relate the ratio of Pi to the diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the relationship of the chord of the circle the the number Pi. They define ration, chord, circumference and diameter and find...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson plan, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Students investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

Students investigate the movements of the planet Pluto. Students participate in a hands-on activity to record data similar to the movements of the planet Pluto. Students compare their data to that found on a website.

Students explore how GPS works, the mathematics behind the technology, and how GPS is used. They find positions in one and two dimensions, and participate in a WebQuest that explores how math is used to find a location on Earth using GPS.

A lesson, practice activity, and teacher resource for exploring coordinate geometry proofs.

Students will participate in several activities that will build their knowledge of coordinates graphing. Students will use ordered pairs to locate points on a grid. Students will also relate coordinate graphing to the real world through...

This MathWorld tutorial provides detailed overviews of the concepts and theorems associated with geometry. Most of the Math World sites are extensive and some require higher math knowledge to understand, links to terms and topics are...

A unique geometry project that asks students to complete a transformation using a picture. Project includes instructions, examples, and quiz questions.
