Coordinate Graphing
Students practice basic coordinate graphing and plotting points on the coordinate axis. For this geometry lesson, students are introduced to ordered pairs, and the x and y axis.
Curated OER
Graphing and the Coordinate Plane
Students gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.
Curated OER
Locating Patterns of Volcano Distribution
Students examine patterns of volcanic distribution worldwide, use tables to plot and label location of each volcano on map, lightly shade areas where volcanoes are found, and complete open-ended worksheet based on their findings.
Curated OER
Measurement and the Illampi Mound Colony
Young scholars 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
Where Did It Come From?
Pupils research island formation, plot locations on a map and make an analysis of why some islands are formed where they are.
Curated OER
Plotting with Pennies
Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.
