Coordinate Plane Teacher Resources

Explore the concept of, and use the Ti-Nspire to, convert complex numbers into polar form. Then practice graphing complex numbers in the polar coordinate plane.

Represent complex numbers in two ways. Pupils use the interactive to convert polar and rectangular representations of complex numbers. The learners drag an overlay back and forth over the coordinate plane to reveal the polar coordinates...

Graphs usually add an extra dimension to ones understanding of mathematical concepts and graphing complex numbers is no exception. This video shows to graph complex numbers on the complex plane and what the results of adding complex...

Complex numbers have two parts and can be graphed on a complex plane. After an explanation of the complex plane, this video shows three examples of graphing complex numbers.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve complex numbers using division. multiplication, addition and subtraction. There are 11 questions with an answer key.

Use a function to operate on two variables. Pupils look at operating with complex numbers as a function of two variables. The interactive squares the input and adds a constant to it. Learners visualize the resulting output and its...

Find the location of enemy submarines with a sonar display that doubles as a polar coordinate system. Pupils find polar coordinates that would be the same location of plotted submarines. They then determine multiple polar coordinates...

Learning polar coordinates does not require visiting the North Pole, though explaining igloos is much easier using polar coordinates. The lesson begins with a video explaining how to find coordinates on a spherical plane and how to...

In this polar and exponential form worksheet, students use Euler's Formula to write complex numbers in exponential form. They write numbers in rectangular form. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

In this polar form worksheet, students write complex numbers in polar form. They draw an Argand diagram containing vectors and draw sketches representing in a coordinate plane. This two-page worksheet contains thirteen multi-step...

Take a radical look at square roots. The presentation examines square roots as the lengths of the sides of a square with a given area on the coordinate plane. Using this method, it is clear why the square root of a number can be positive...

Here is a resource that provides the structure of an assessment with the convenience of a full answer key. The focus is on rational, exponential, and logarithm functions with a few questions on solving polynomials. 

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

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,...

Students review plotting points on a coordinate plane. Individually, they add and subtrace complex numbers and graph them in a complex plane. They follow along a worksheet while their teacher lectures on the new material and solve...

You'll be spinning in unit circles once you read through this jumbo-sized resource of everything you need to know about trigonometry. Each page has color-coded examples with explicit directions that detail the problems and formulas. 

It's great to apply algebra to real-world situations. Discuss examples of how a system of equations is used in everyday scenarios. Your math analysts will graph the system of equations, view examples, and complete a worksheet. Two web...

Students are introduced to parallel and perpendicular lines. They work through several problems as a class and then complete a worksheet.
