Plotting Coordinates Teacher Resources

Young scholars explore the relationship between the force applied to a spring and its stretch. They design and conduct an experiment to determine the stretch of spring with 15N of force without having an actual 15N mass.

Students identify the properties of an isosceles triangle. In this geometry lesson, students find the midpoint, median and angle bisector of a triangle. They construct angle bisectors and measure missing angles.

In this math worksheet, students learn to graph ordered pairs. Students examine a graph with 3 labeled points and tell the ordered pairs for each. Students also plot 8 ordered pairs on a graph they draw themselves.

Students practice plotting temperature data points on a line graph in groups and examine the temperature differences at the same time of year. They graph the temperatures in Lannon, WI, and Mitchell's Plain, SA. After the data has been...

Middle schoolers distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Pupils develop models of groundwater and pollution flow. They research information using the Internet and develop models of groundwater flow in Stella and Excel.

Students discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding coordinates...

Students graph ordered pairs to model the relationship between numbers. After observing the patterns in ordered pairs, they describe the relationship, and create graphs from a data table. Students describe intervals in the graph, and...

Eighth graders use lab work and software to collect and analyze pressure and temperature data in order to illustrate the relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas at a constant volume. They conduct a lab and organize...

Students work in small groups to determine the amount of protein contained in an unknown sample. They conduct the experiment, plot the points of absorbency, and present their findings to the class.

Fifth graders write and perform stories on mammals. They review the parts of a narrative story and write stories. They rehearse their stories and present them to the class. They make mammal cookies after their peformance.

Students review the lecture portion of this lesson plan. Individually, they graph various points on a complex plane and identify conjugates based on their location on the graphs. They complete a worksheet and review their answers to end...

In this reading points on a graph worksheet, students read and identify points on a coordinate plane. They place their answers in the form of an ordered pair. Students identify 20 points. They may enter their answers on the webpage...

Learners access the Internet to search for housing prices in Houston, Texas,(the location can be changed to accommodate any location) and compare the prices to the number of square feet found in the living area of a house.

Learners develop skill in using co-ordinates. Up to eight cardinal points of the compass are used making this a useful activity in simple map and grid work. They utilize educational software to gain practice.

In this calculus worksheet, students review topics they need to already understand in order to be successful in a basic calculus course. Topics include functions, linear equations, coordinate graphing, piece-wise formulation, exponents,...

High schoolers research the Cartesian Coordinate System and its many uses in the world of mathematics and algebra.

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Students practice graphing quadratic equations. They work to solve and equation involving finding the vertex using given formulas. Once their points have been graphed, students determine the direction in which the angle opens. Worksheets...

Students examine the relationship between circumference and diameter and how to use the formula to find the area of a circle.  In this circle lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity. 

Learners use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Students develop an awareness of the concepts of the United States through the Amateur Radio communication services by verbally sharing information about their state such as cultures, current events, geography, history and much more.

Students practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...
