An Introduction to the Coordinate Plane

A quadrilateral is drawn on the coordinate plane, and eighth grade geometers find the length of each side and the diagonals by applying the Pythagorean theorem. 

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

Sal's goal in this video is to "familiarize ourselves with the x, y-coordinate plane." If your pupils have blank expressions when you present them with graphing problems, this video will be a great help to clear up the basics.

You can't get from point A to point B if you can't find point A. Using a helpful video lesson, viewers learn how to plot points on a coordinate plane. The instructor emphasizes the vertical and horizontal distance of the x and...

Discover the parallel structure of parallel lines. Provided with two parallel lines on a coordinate plane, the presenter shows that the rise and run, or slope, of the two lines are the same. The resource, which is a portion of a larger...

Geometric transformations are explored by high schoolers. They will create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real-world figure. These instructions are shared with middle...

Here is a geometry worksheet in which learners plot the points of a circle onto a coordinate grid and proceed to calculate the area or circumference of the circle. There are four questions.

Do you know how to graph a linear equation? If you do then graphing an inequality will not be a problem for you. There are a couple of differences: is the line solid or dashed, and which half plane do you have to shade. Watch this video...

So you have an ordered pair and you want to graph it. Just remember that the first value is plotted along the x-axis and the second value in the pair is plotted along the y-axis. So count left or right, then up or down and you have...
