Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

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

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Fifth graders explore the four quadrants of a coordinate grid.  In this graphing lesson plan, 5th graders trace sea shells in each of the four quadrants of a coordinate grid and then label the ordered pairs on each shell.  For...

Students read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants and state where a shape will be after translation. They explore the concept of translation using a a four quadrant grid of the of River Tyne running through all 4 quads. In...

Grab your class and get them graphing polygons on a coordinate plane! They investigate the four quadrants, discover the x and y axis, and correctly plot ordered pairs. To show their comprehension, each child creates a coordinate picture...

Take your study of coordinates online! Groups of students complete an online graphing introduction, plotting the points of virtual objects. A worksheet is included for extra practice.

Learners plot points on a coordinate grid.  In this coordinate plane lesson, students use a coordinate grid to locate the perimeter points of pictures, identify quadrants and use the coordinate points to draw the picture on a blank...

Where this lesson idea is lacking in materials, it makes up for with creativity! Using "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" as the background, mathematicians plot points on a coordinate grid to create props for the story. The polygons all...

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of slope. In this slope instructional activity, learners graph lines using a life-size graph. They use chalk on a blacktop to create a coordinate plane and use each other as the tick marks on...

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson plan, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across...

Students investigate rational numbers through data analysis and statistics. In this algebra lesson, students represent, rename, compare and order rational numbers. They collect and represent data correctly on a graph.

Third graders develop an understanding of maps. They explore what a map is, who uses maps, and how to use maps. Students investigate the compas rose. They create a compose rose which illustrates the cardinal directions. Students practice...
