Drawing the Coordinate Plane and Points on the Plane
To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...

Transformations - Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
In this geometry lesson, math scholars brainstorm examples of rotations. Using the SMARTboard, young scholars observe a rotation. They create their own rotation using graph paper. Finally, pupils complete a worksheet and graph...

Play Battleship on Graph Paper
Who says learning can't be enjoyable? Your class will love identifying the x axis and y axis of a coordinate plane and plotting various points when it's dressed up in the guise of a Battleship game. Rather than sets of the actual game,...

Points In the X-Y Plane
Students plot points on the x-y plane using x and y coordinates and describe how the x and y values relate to the position of the point on the plane. They plot points that fit a linear relationship. They explain that their horizontal and...

Graphing Linear Equations
Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned
with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

Similar Triangles on the Coordinate Plane
Students investigate triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the SSS theorem to help identify the triangles that are similar or congruent.

Reflections
Students investigate image and pre-image. In this geometry lesson, students identify the reflection and rotation of different shape on a coordinate plane. They identify similarities and differences of image and pre-image of a reflection.
