- Human coordinate graph
- Students will actively learn how to plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They will also learn how to connect ordered pairs to graph a picture.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3–4 Mathematics)
- By Cheryl Sexton.
- Tabletop grids
- Students will play a review game in small groups using large grids to develop skill in locating and naming points on grid maps.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics)
- By Monica Delanoy.
- Translations, reflections, rotations
- This lesson will allow students to explore translations, reflections, and rotations using a resource of Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop Interactivate Your Math Students. Students explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations in the Cartesian coordinate system by transforming squares, triangles and parallelograms. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, x or y reflection, angle of rotation. (Italics are a direct quote from Shodor.org.)
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics)
- By Deborah Bourne.
- Step right up!
- The students will learn to name an ordered pair for a point and plot positions named by an ordered pair on a large grid located on the classroom floor.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics)
- By Shelley Dodson.
- Coordinate plane artwork
- For this lesson students will go to the computer lab and use the General Coordinate Game applet created by the Shodor Foundation to obtain a more specific understanding of the coordinate plane, its parts, and how it can be used to graph points. Afterward, the students will practice using the coordinate plane by drawing a picture on a coordinate plane and then writing out directions (using coordinates) for that picture to be replicated exactly by another student, who will not see the picture but will follow the directions.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics)
- By Erin Foerster.
- Gridding a site
- In Intrigue of the Past, page 2.2
- In their study of how to grid a site, students will use a map and the Cartesian coordinate system to establish a grid system over an archaeological site, labeling each grid unit; determine the location of artifacts within each grid unit; and construct a scientific inquiry concerning the location of artifacts on the site.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics and Social Studies)
