Coordinate Grid: Mapping an Archaeological Site
Students examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.
Curated OER
Coordinate Grid: Mapping Archeological Sites
Fourth graders discover how to apply the Cartesian coordinate system by figuring out the length and width of their school playground. They determine that pacing is an important tool for the initial mapping of a site. Students conduct a...
Curated OER
Graphing Game
Students explore the concept of graphing ordered pairs. For this graphing ordered pairs lesson, students work in teams to play a version of Connect 4. Students use a Cartesian grid with values -4 to 4 as their Connect 4 board. Students...

The Origins and Maintenance of Earth's Atmosphere
In this atmosphere worksheet, students read over a data table showing the percentage of carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere over the last 4500 million years. Students create a graph comparing these gases over time and...
Curated OER
Human Coordinate Plane
Students sit in 25 desks arranged in a square array. They are a human coordinate plane and each of them is to receive a card with an ordered pair (x,y) on it. They who are not seated distribute the ordered pair cards to the appropriate...
Curated OER
Reflection
Students examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.
Curated OER
Coordinate Graphs
Students use coordinate graphs in order to identify objects and their locations. They are shown how to plot the x and y coordinates and then are given values to be plotted during guided and independent practice. Students are assessed on...
Curated OER
Match My Masterpiece
Fifth graders plot out points on grid paper which correspond with the ordered pairs they are given. If done correctly, the points form a word.
