Students participate as a class in this activity using their desks as points on the coordinate plane. The teacher leads them in the activity, increasing their understanding of the characteristics of the coordinate plane.

In this interactive, students use clues and logic to plot the location of aquatic animals on a Cartesian graph that represents the four cardinal directions. The three riddles in the interactive, including one that requires students to...

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that take a look at the Cartesian (or Rectangular) coordinate system. Provides definitions of ordered pairs, coordinates, quadrants, and x and y-intercepts.

Introduces students to graphing in the polar coordinate plane.

An overview of functions and graphing on a coordinate plane.

This lesson plan is directed at introducing students to how to graph functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They will experience several categories of functions including lines and parabolas. Resources and interactive tools are...

The purpose of this lesson plan is to teach young scholars about the three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. It is important for structural engineers to be confident graphing in 3D in order to be able to describe locations in...

The parts of the coordinate plane are described and plotting ordered pairs is demonstrated with several examples. The four quadrants of the coordinate plane are also defined.

The lesson plan, with objectives, lesson outline, and a plotting-practice activity, examines impossible graphs.

The interactive learning game has students practice their point plotting skills as they move through a mine field. The goal of the game is to get to a target location without crossing a mine.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students graph an exponential function and compare graphs of exponential functions on the same coordinate plane. Students examine guided notes, review guided...

Use this activity to practice how to enter a set of data, plot the data on a coordinate grid, and determine the equation for a line of best fit.

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to have students practice simple computation that results in them graphing their answers. If they are accurate they will have a straight line. Students use an interactive...

In this task, learners find a unique linear function, a unique exponential function, and more than one quadratic function that go through the same two points on the coordinate grid. Aligns with F-LE.A.

In this hands-on project, learners have the opportunity to survey their classmates to find information that is meaningful to them. Then students will construct graphs using computer software. Learners will analyze their information and...

Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.

A lesson plan where students will interpret the trigonometric functions in terms of the unit circle, graph a sinusoidal function, and use a sinusoidal function to make interpretations in a modeling context.

Algebra lesson focuses on using patterns and relationships to write equations with two variables to represent relationships and patterns in real-world problems, plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate grid, and interpreting the meaning of...
