Gridlock: A Board Game

In this gridlock worksheet, students roll dice and put counters in the ordered pairs on the graph that they get from the rolled dice. Students play this game and whoever gets 3 in a row wins.

You sank my battleship! The iconic cry of the time-honored game, Battleship will be heard in classrooms with this learning game that requires only grid paper, pencils, and an introductory knowledge of the first quadrant of the coordinate...

Use a kinesthetic activity to elucidate ordered pairs and coordinate planes. Arrange desks in a square array and distribute to learners cards with ordered pairs based on the locations of their seats. By having various groups of...

In this money worksheet, learners fill up a grid with coins and then roll dice to get ordered pairs and take the money of the ordered pair that they roll. Students then add up their money in the end and see who wins.

There are 12 symbols on this large grid, and scholars must record a location for each. They use the coordinate pair system which is made easier because every symbol is directly inside a square. Use this to introduce coordinate pair...

Ordered pairs, the x and y-axis - sounds like it's time to introduce learners to the plotting points on a graph! This presentation is great as it introduces the concept, provides an example of how to use a coordinate plane, and then...

Coordinate an attack on hungry gophers. Scholars play a game that relies on placing objects on the coordinate plane to stop gophers from eating a carrot. As the game levels increase, learners encounter different scales and the need to...

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

This applet allows students to practice plotting points and identifying ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. The learning resource consists of the activity, instructions, instructor notes, and additional resources.

Use this clever applet to move your robot to safe ordered pairs as it travels to its destination. This all takes place in the first quadrant. Direction are just a click away.
