Coordinate Graphing Teacher Resources

What is the mystery picture? After plotting points on the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system, young mathematicians connect the points to create a Halloween-themed picture.

Graphing points is like painting a picture in algebra. Starting with a number line, the video constructs the coordinate plane. The presentation introduces the concept of a coordinate pair as an intersection of the two lines containing...

Class members investigate rectangles on the coordinate plane. They determine the length of line segments in the coordinate plane with the same x-coordinate or same y-coordinate and then solve geometric problems involving perimeter and...

Connect the dots to graph a linear function. Young mathematicians use an interactive to first plot provided points on a coordinate plane. They connect these points with a line and then answer questions about the slope and y-intercept of...

This instructional activity is basic, but provides a variety of ways for students to practice identifying points on a coordinate graph. Students start by identifying points in various quadrants, and end up naming ordered pairs.

There are several ways to determine if an ordered pair is the solution to a linear equation. The ordered pair can be plugged in to the equation to check if it's a solution. However, in this video the instructor sets up a table and plugs...

Check to see if a given ordered pair is a solution to an inequality. Just plug the given values into the given inequality and do the math. If the resulting statement is true then the given ordered pair is a solution. If the statement is...

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.

The coordinate axes are the x-axis, which is the horizontal axis, and the y-axis, which is the vertical axis. Remember, these axes go on forever.

Just a quick diagram and explanation of the parts of the coordinate plane. You might want to remind your class to put arrows on the ends of the x-axis and the y-axis, as these lines go on forever.

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and diagonal lines, and...

Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!

Similar to the game Battleship®, partners try and determine where the opponent buried their treasures on the hidden coordinate plane. Two types of planes are provided, one with only quadrant one and one with all four for a higher...

Learners solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they find the gradients of the lines and plot the given points. Then, they complete the table of values for each equation and use the table to draw the graph. 

In this graph and number line worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions about points on a graph and points on a number line. Students answer 10 questions.

How do you handle common mistakes in your classroom? A graphing activity prepares scholars to recognize common misconceptions when graphing ordered pairs. The activity concentrates on three common graphing mistakes.

Provide your mathematicians an introduction to coordinate planes with a captivating video featuring Virtual Math Girl. Viewers get a step-by-step description of how to use a single, positive number quadrant to plot ordered pairs, and to...

In this geometry lesson, math scholars brainstorm examples of rotations.  Using the SMARTboard, students observe a rotation. They create their own rotation using graph paper. Finally, pupils complete a worksheet and graph rotations.

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...

High schoolers 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.

To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...

Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

X and y mark the spot. Young scholars watch as a video instructor describes the process of plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. Beginning with an overview of the vocabulary, the video demonstrates how to find the location of...
