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.

Introduces students to graphing in the polar coordinate plane.

Two hands-on lab activities for instructors to use when teaching about the coordinate graphs of the sine, cosine, and tangent functions derived from a unit circle. The graphs of the reciprocals of the three functions are investigated....

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.

The students will be learning about the coordinate grid through the use of multiple learning styles and real-life examples. This lesson includes a detailed plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a video explanation.

An overview of functions and graphing on a coordinate plane.

Students can create graphs of functions entered as algebraic expressions similar to a graphing calculator.

Students learn the basics of graphing including terminology, plotting, and reading points. The lesson has an overview, materials, procedures, and evaluation techniques.

Students learn the basics of graphing including terminology, plotting, and reading points. The lesson has an overview, materials, procedures, and evaluation techniques.

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

Test your knowledge of coordinate geometry by taking this twenty question multiple-choice practice test. Use a graphing calculator to help with any graphing problems and check your answers at any given time throughout the test.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept explores graphing a dilation given a description of the dilation. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and...

[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...

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...

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...

In this task, young scholars 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.

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.

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

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of scale to organize and represent data from a table on a graph.

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...

The purpose of this lesson is to teach students 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 space to fellow...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you will learn how to convert complex numbers from rectangular form to polar form. You will also explore the graphs of complex numbers on a polar graph.

Graph ordered pairs and customize the graph title and axis labels. Points are connected from left to right, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.

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.
