Number Pairs
What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write the...

Geometry- Coordinate Plane
Students 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...

Geometry: Helix-a-Graph
High schoolers use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns lesson, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Curve of Best Fit
Which function models the data best? Pupils work through several activities to model data with a variety of functions. Individuals begin by reviewing the shapes of the functions and finding functions that will fit plotted data points. By...

Coordinate Plane Treasure Hunt
Similar to the game Battleship®, partners try and determine where the opponent buried their treasures on the hidden coordinate plane. Two types of planes are provided, one with only quadrant one and one with all four for a higher...
Curated OER
Earth on the Earth
Fourth graders plot points on a graph and transfer those coordinates onto a large scale model resulting in an outline of the Western Hemisphere. They identify the major geographical landforms of the Western Hemisphere.

What’s Your Coordinate?
Your middle schoolers will show what they know with their bodies when they become the coordinate plane in this conceptual development unit. Starting with the characteristics of the coordinate plane, learners develop their skills by...
Curated OER
Constellation Mapping
Students plot constellations on a grid map. They discuss the various ways early explorers planned their travels. Students identify and recognize major constellations. They color their maps and take them home to try to find various...
Curated OER
Exploring Graphs
Students are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...

Plotting Points
In this middle school mathematics/Algebra I worksheet, students plot points on a coordinate plane. The one page worksheet contains six problems. Answers are not provided.
Curated OER
Coordinates (2)
In this mathematical worksheet, learners practice plotting the points on a grid using eight different sets of coordinates with a ruler to make eight separate shapes.
Curated OER
Straight Line Graphs
Learners review the techniques of plotting and reading points on a grid. They identify why facts explaining how to read coordinates as well as the importance of the order in which the coordinates are given. Individual practice of...

Make a Line Graph
In this make a line graph activity, 6th graders make a line graph for 2 sets of data, using a blank grid, by plotting the numbers, labeling the x and y axes and writing a title.
Curated OER
Grids
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.
Curated OER
Graphing Greenery
Students gather leaves and trace them on graph paper. They plot coordinates that approximate the shape of the leaves and share those coordinates as "worksheets" for other students to complete.
Curated OER
Plotting a Hurricane Using Latitude and Longitude
Learners define and use "absolute location," latitude, and longitude. They locate on a map or globe the Earth's poles, circles, tropics, and beginning points of measurements for latitude and longitude.
