While the lesson focuses on right triangles, this activity offers a great way to practice the area of all triangles through an interactive webpage. The activity begins with the class taking a square paper and cutting in in half; can they...

As you introduce graphs and coordinate pairs, use this guided activity to get scholars started. They reference an example before recording number pairs to identify the location of 12 letters on a grid. Next, learners examine shapes on a...

In this graph worksheet, students study colored shapes plotted on a Cartesian coordinate plane. Students identify the "right" and "left" coordinates for each shape. The page should be duplicated in color.

In this coordinates worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they write the coordinates of each of the points shown in the diagram. Then, students draw the quadrilateral that is described by the given...

In this plane worksheet, students find the midpoint of a line, determine points on a plane, and use the cross product to find an equation with given parameters. This two-page worksheet contains three problems.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

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...

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

In this mathematical coordinates worksheet, students plot the points on a grid with six different sets of coordinates and a ruler to make six separate shapes.

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry instructional activity, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and...

Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...

In this transformations instructional activity, students review the terms and example diagrams for a translation, reflection, and rotation. Students then identify the coordinates for a triangle after completing the given transformations...

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams instructional activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

In this shapes and coordinates worksheet, students identify the shapes that are located and given coordinates on graphs. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes and coordinates worksheet, students write the name of the shape that corresponds to given coordinates. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Eighth graders practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. As a class, they create and label the parts of a graph. Given ordered pairs, they plot the points, connect them to reveal a particular shape, and find the area of the shape.

In this finding coordinates on a grid worksheet, 3rd graders write the name of the shape that corresponds to eight given coordinates.

Young scholars explore coordinates and scale drawings. In this drawing to scale activity, students discuss symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, geometric, shapes and estimation of size.  Young scholars recreate a portion of a...

Students explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Students identify and draw one line of symmetry in a...

For this geometry worksheet, students plot coordinate pairs and connect the points to create different shapes. They give th shapes its polygon's name. They differentiate between simple functions and rectangular hyperbola.

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...

Young scholars watch the teacher draw on the chalkboard and try to determine the form being drawn. They use questions to determine Quadrant #1 of a coordinate plane.

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. For this ordered pairs lesson, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the fish left,...
