Third graders create pictures using ordered pairs after listening to a piece of literature. In this ordered pairs and literature lesson, student listen to and discuss The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. They participate in...

In this graphs lesson, students read stories and present story situations on a graph.  They explore distance and diameter and explain graphs.  Students create their own stories to fit graphs.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Middle schoolers 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...

Students graph linear http://www.lessonplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon, students...

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,...

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...

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

Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...

Seventh graders find constellation distances and plot the stars. In this star lesson, 7th graders plot the star points for Canis Major. Students use graphing calculators to graph the constellation. Students choose another constellation...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Students create an art piece using recycled objects. In this environmental instructional activity, students collect and sort recycled objects and create a three dimensional art piece.
