Cartesian Classroom
Elementary schoolers become points on a Cartesian Plane in their classroom. They review ordered pairs, positive and negative coordinates, quadrants, and the x and y axes. Pupils follow commands that help review vocabulary, such as...
Curated OER
Location on a Grid
This grid features 15 animals, and scholars use a coordinate system to describe the location of each. The x-axis is labelled with letters and the y-axis with numbers, and they list the coordinate pairs beside the animal names below the...
Curated OER
Location on a Grid
There are 12 symbols on this large grid, and scholars must record a location for each. They use the coordinate pair system which is made easier because every symbol is directly inside a square. Use this to introduce coordinate pair...
Curated OER
Geometric Transformations
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...

Making A Horizontal Bar Graph
For this bar graph worksheet, students create a bar graph to display 6 scores from basketball games. Students will label the x and y axis and correctly plot the scores from the table provided.
Curated OER
Bell Curve
Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve lesson, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the average weight or...

Help Mary Find Her Way Home
Learners 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.
Curated OER
Coordinates
In this coordinates learning exercise, students analyze two maps and identify the coordinates of ten specific locations. Students plot sixteen points on a graph and check their answers online at the end of each exercise.
