A Second View of Polar Coordinates
In this polar coordinates worksheets, students change ordered pairs from rectangular form to polar form. They plot and label points and identify alternative coordinate pairs for given points. There are approximately 20 problems on this...
Curated OER
Worksheet 25
In this math worksheet, students draw a graph of functions on a polar graphing system. They graph two functions by first plotting them on the vertical axis as a function of a given angle, then by plotting them at a radial distance from...
Curated OER
Worksheet 31
In this math learning exercise, students investigate vectors and polar coordinates. They convert the paths of polar coordinates to Euclidian points.
Curated OER
Worksheet 28 - Spring 1996
For this math worksheet, students examine the graph in polar coordinates of r = f(θ). Then they sketch a graph of the modified functions indicated.

Worksheet 27
In this math worksheet, students examine the equations for the planets of Mercury and Saturn. Then they find the distance of Saturn’s closest and farthest approach to the sun.
Curated OER
X Marks the Spot
Fourth graders use games and puzzles to explore co-ordinate systems and their uses. Students are given the opportunity to invent their own systems by locating counters on a sheet of paper and by finding the dead center of a set of objects.
Curated OER
Worksheet 29
In this math learning exercise, students investigate how time is related to the concept of increasing or decreasing velocity. Then they consider times and answer the questions of whether the velocity is changing.
