Learners play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate grid. In this graphing instructional activity, students listen as the teacher explains quadrants and ordered pairs. They place their "ships" on the board. The...

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...

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate plane. In this coordinate graphing lesson, students select a point on their grid to place their "battleship." It the opposing team misses the ship, the...

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. 

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...
