Coordinate Geometry
Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...

Math Journal: Functions and Coordinate Geometry
Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better. Students complete several...

A World of Symmetry: Math-Geometry
Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Line 'Em Up!
Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math instructional activity. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed...

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...

Geometry: Hide and Seek
A geometry game that resembles Battleship is the foundation for hide and seek where "hiders" draw shapes on coordinate planes and "seekers" must guess the shape and its location based on questions and clues. Reproducible, paper-sized...

Battle Shapes
Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their opponents shapes.

Plotting Pairs of Coordinate Points in all Four Quadrants to Construct Lines
Here is a lesson on coordinates that has pupils view three Cyberchase video clips illustrating the definition of "point" and "line." Along the way, learners will discuss what characters from the videos do, and where problems lie in their...

Line 'Em Up!
Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...

Creating a Reflection
Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry instructional activity. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on...

Translations, Reflections and Rotations
Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.
