Let's Plot Points
Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write the...

Clean up the Money!
In this money worksheet, students fill up a grid with coins and then roll dice to get ordered pairs and take the money of the ordered pair that they roll. Students then add up their money in the end and see who wins.

Help Mary Find Her Way Home
Young scholars discover the first quadrant of the coordinate plane by using coordinate points to give directions. They show a lost girl the way home using coordinate points. They add definitions to their math journals.

Locate Points on a Grid: Practice
For this ordered pairs worksheet, students use the graph and write the letter of the point for each ordered pair. Students then write the ordered pair for the given points. Students then answer the six grid location questions.

Coordinates Multiplication Game
In this division and multiplication worksheet, students play a game where they solve a division problem and turn it into a multiplication problem using coordinates. Students complete 16 problems.
Curated OER
Percentage to Decimals Coordinates Game
In this coordinates worksheet, learners solve the percentage problems in the box that is called out by the coordinate where they change the percentages to decimals. Students complete 16 problems.

Where in the World? :Understanding Latitude and Longitude
Students play a grid-based game and devise clues to help classmates locate spots on the globe in order to recognize the value of using longitude and latitude for identifying locations.
Curated OER
Plot the Coordinates
In this geometry skills worksheet, students plot the listed coordinates on the provided graphs to create letters of the alphabet.
Curated OER
Grids and Coordinates
In this grids activity, students learn about grids, or coordinate plants, axes, coordinates, plotting and ordered pairs. They then complete the 5 questions using what they learned. The answers are on the last page.
Curated OER
Map Grids
Learners study map grids and explore how they can be used to locate positions of objects or features on a map. They read a story and then participate in a grid activity using a large map of the setting of the story.

Exercises in Plotting Points
In this geometry worksheet, students practice plotting points on coordinate grids. They plot and translate points in 6 grids.
Curated OER
Scatter Brain
Examine a coordinated geometry grid to decode the hidden message. Pupils write a coded message to their parents using letter coordinates from the grid.
