Learn Zillion: Find Distances on a Map by Comparing Ordered Pairs

Middle and high schoolers solve four word problems based on three different graphs of ordered pairs which show the amount of money spent on lunch on particular days. Next, learners are given two equations of functions, and an x value and...

Sinking ships, construction paper, coordinate planes, sounds like fun day in math class. Play the game Battleship with your class and reinforce the concept of graphing ordered pairs.

Scholars learn to plot points on the coordinate plane. The activity introduces the idea that the first coordinate of a coordinate pair represents the horizontal distance and the second coordinate represents the vertical distance. 

Here is graphing worksheet which has pupils graph ordered pairs and label the axis. They graph five ordered pairs and then interpret the data in the graph.

Order is important! An ordered pair is comprised of an x-value, and a y-value. The x-value always comes first. This ordered pair represents a point on a coordinate plane. If the order of the x-value and the y-value are switched then they...

Using an amusing amusement park, Sam describes how it is a coordinate plane and how to graph an ordered pair. Perfect for beginners, the animation moves on to point out a tip using the first quadrant of an empty coordinate plane.

An ordered pair is comprised of an x-value, and a y-value. The x-value always comes first, then the y-value in an ordered pair. This ordered pair represents a point on a coordinate plane. There are many meanings of an ordered pair and...

A one-minute clip shows how to graph ordered pairs, a definition, example, and process are provided. This video is not narrated and uses nothing but visual aids and written explanations. Great for visual learners.

Khan Academy: Coordinate plane: plot ordered pairs practices plotting an ordered pair on the x (horizontal) axis and y (vertical) axis of the coordinate plane.

Students investigate ordered pairs. In this math lesson, students plot and locate ordered pairs in a coordinate plane and are exposed to how to read and create a map.
