Common Core State Standards
Fifth Grade
Geometry
Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Lessons (2)
Introduces students to plotting points on the Cartesian coordinate system -- an alternative to "Graphing and the Coordinate Plane."
Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
Activities (6)
Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of a randomly generated point, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. General Coordinates Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Create graphs of functions and sets of ordered pairs on the same coordinate plane. This is like a graphing calculator with advanced viewing options.
Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the plane. Maze Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of randomly generated points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. Simple Coordinates Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Investigate the first quardant of the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the grid. Simple Maze Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Plot ordered pairs of numbers, either as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. Points are connected from right to left, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
