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
Millennium Bridge
Learners read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants and state where a shape will be after translation. They explore the concept of translation using a a four quadrant grid of the of River Tyne running through all 4 quads. In...
Curated OER
Match My Masterpiece
Fifth graders plot out points on grid paper which correspond with the ordered pairs they are given. If done correctly, the points form a word.

Creating a Reflection
Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson. 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 their own. They...
Curated OER
Where is it?
Students use a coordinate grid. They investigate and discuss what caused certain objects to be in specific places. They choose a room in their home to map and place objects in specific locations.
Curated OER
Graphing Integers
Fifth graders complete an integer graphing activity. In this integer graphing instructional activity, 5th graders use coordinate grids to help them complete linear functions and integer graphing.
Curated OER
Transformations
Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry instructional activity, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students...

"If You Hopped Like a Frog" by David M. Schwartz
Students search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.
Curated OER
Cartography Project
A activity involving mapping, the use of a compass, writing and following directions, and exploring the first two themes of geography is here for you. Learners create original maps that show the routes they take through their own...
Curated OER
Measurement and the Illampi Mound Colony
Students comprehend the basic units of measurement, scale, plotting, and basic grids. Students practice their estimation
and measuring skills and will demonstrate their ability to work well in groups.
Curated OER
Estimation, Sampling, and Beyond
Students examine an ISS EarthKAM image of farm land in Texas and New Mexico. They select sample region of image and count the number of fields in that region. They estimate how many fields are in the entire region.

Geometry: Mountain Rescue Mission
Fifth graders improve their skills using map coordinates by playing a mountain rescue game. In pairs, they roll dice to determine their moves up a mountain. The team that reaches the rescue site in the shortest distance on the grid...
Curated OER
Does the falling tree make a sound if no one if there to hear it? (or communication via encryption)
Learners explore encryption. They discuss the importance of cryptography in our daily lives. Students use games and cryptography to discover transformational geometry and modulo systems. They design their own encryption puzzles and...
Curated OER
Tessellations
Young scholars learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.
Curated OER
"Geometry With Quilts"
Fifth graders examine the geometry of quilts. They discuss the history of quilting, design two nine-patch squares, exchange one design on an Internet bulletin board, and construct a hot pad that is quilted.
Curated OER
Hurricane Tracking
Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...
