Massey University: Maths First: Graphing Ordered Pairs

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.

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

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...

Students study how to graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. After a teacher demonstration, students work together to complete problems. They explain and share their answers. As an activity, they solve a mystery story about the...

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.

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...

Draw a graph, label your units, make a table of your given coordinates. Now plot your points, label each point as you graph it. Next identify the quadrant that each point is in and add that to your table.

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...
