Human Slope
Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of slope. In this slope instructional activity, learners graph lines using a life-size graph. They use chalk on a blacktop to create a coordinate plane and use each other as the tick marks on...

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

Plot and Name Points on a Grid
In this graphing learning exercise, students solve a set of 6 problems, using a given graph to answer questions related to plotting points, units moved in a given directions and coordinates.
Curated OER
Grids
In this geometry learning exercise, students plot and label 8 sets of points and triangles on a grid using coordinate pairs. They use both positive and negative numbers.
Curated OER
Plotting Points
In this coordinate pairs worksheet, students learn to plot points on a graph. Students study the examples and then complete 20 questions. This is intended as an online activity, but may be completed with pencil and paper.

Handy Reflections
Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson plan. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate...
Curated OER
Graphing Game
Students explore the concept of graphing ordered pairs. In this graphing ordered pairs lesson plan, students work in teams to play a version of Connect 4. Students use a Cartesian grid with values -4 to 4 as their Connect 4 board....

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...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...

Investigation - Looking at Polygons
Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...

Rescue Mission Game
Students conduct probability experiments. For this rescue mission lesson, sudents play a game and collect statistical data. They organize and interpret the data and determine the probability of success. Students plot points on a...
Mathematics Assessment Project
Aaron's Designs
Learners first create designs for greeting cards by applying transformations of shapes on a coordinate plane, and then determine a sequence of transformations that produces a given design.

Shell Graphing
Fifth graders explore the four quadrants of a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson plan, 5th graders trace sea shells in each of the four quadrants of a coordinate grid and then label the ordered pairs on each shell. For the final...
Curated OER
LAND USE ISSUES
Students relate math with real life situations. They identify and plot points on a grid map. They identify and locate the Drop Box Sites.
Curated OER
Tomb Robbers
Sixth graders identify benchmark angles as they are embedded into a circle grid. They observe the teacher using an angle ruler and complete a Star Spangled worksheet, play the game Tomb Robbers, and as a class discuss their game winning...

Identifying Points in the Coordinate Plane
In this ordered pairs worksheet, learners identify 6 ordered pairs given a coordinate plane. Students list the ordered pair given the graph.
Curated OER
Graphing Coordinates
Sixth graders practice graphing coordinates. In this geometry lesson, they use the x and y axis to locate points that must be connected in the right sequence to form a straight line.
Curated OER
Comparing Numbers Game
In this coordinates worksheet, students solve the comparison problems in the box that is called out by the coordinate. Students complete 16 problems.
