Plotting Coordinates Teacher Resources

Sal's goal in this video is to "familiarize ourselves with the x, y-coordinate plane." If your pupils have blank expressions when you present them with graphing problems, this video will be a great help to clear up the basics.

Using a number line can provide students with a concrete representation of the value various numbers hold. Sal plots 6 different numbers on a number line. He includes whole, decimal, and negative numbers.

Practice graphing and plotting points with a festive Halloween flair! Scholars plot 21 points on a grid, connecting them to create a spooky shape! 

Point your class in the right direction in plotting points with three activities that give scholars a chance to learn about and practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. They draw figures on the coordinate plane and list out the...

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

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...

It's time for scholars to show what they know about coordinate planes with a collection of three assessments. The exams' objectives include plotting points on a single grid, measuring using the distance formula, and identifying...

In this geometry skills worksheet, students plot the listed coordinates on the provided graphs in order to identify the appropriate shapes.

There's any number of reasons why number lines are important. Young mathematicians learn about two skills related to numbers lines. First, they see how to determine the value of a point by considering the intervals drawn on the number...

In this basic worksheet on plotting coordinate points, student practice how to describe where an ordered pair is located on a graph.This activity can provide a short review of material covered in class.

So you have an ordered pair and you want to graph it. Just remember that the first value is plotted along the x-axis and the second value in the pair is plotted along the y-axis. So count left or right, then up or down and you have...

For beginning point plotters, these graphs give a good introduction. They examine a graph with shapes drawn onto it and each vertex labeled. There are 20 total, and scholars write the coordinates of each labeled point. All of these are...

Engage your pupils in a plot activity based on the favorite Dr. Seuss book, The Cat in the Hat. There are two pages included here. The first is a list of plot elements and the second is a grid of plot points and other information. Class...

So you've got some x-values and some y-values and you want to make a scatter plot. First thing is to make a table for your x and y values. Then make ordered pairs and you can plot them.

So you've got some x-values and some y-values and you want to make a scatter plot. First thing is to make a table for your x and y values. Then make ordered pairs and you can plot them.

Are you constantly having trouble with constant functions? Learn how to graph these types of functions by watching a helpful video. Viewers follow along as the narrator creates a table of values and plots the resulting points to graph...

This engaging coordinate pairs activity will have scholars intrigued; they mark 13 points on a grid and then connect them to create a capital block letter. Which one will it be? The grid has whole numbers 0-10 along both axes, so...

It's a straight line to understanding how to graph linear functions. Scholars watch an informative video to learn the process of graphing linear functions. They understand how to make and fill in a table of values and then plot the...

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

It's not magic, it's math! Observe as a collection of points becomes a line. Scholars watch as a video instructor creates a table of values to graph linear equations. Examples include equations in both slope-intercept and standard forms.

Watch as your knowledge of quadratic functions grows parabolically. An educational video shows scholars how to graph quadratic functions. The method shown here is to create a table of values and graph the function by hand.

S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders is still relatable to teenagers today, even though it was written more than 50 years ago. Explore how the figurative language of the story works to establish characterization, and how foreshadowing lays...

Students solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

In this plotting points worksheet, students plot 18 points in the 3-D plane.  Students plot points on a graph given a point.
