MAFS.5.G.1.1Archived Standard

A game that is an off-shoot of the classic game Battleship, for practice with coordinate graphing, complete with reproducible templates and animated PowerPoint introduction.

Type: Educational Game

In this activity, students enter coordinates to make a path to get to a target destination while avoiding mines. This activity allows students to explore Cartesian coordinates and the Cartesian coordinate plane. This activity includes supplemental materials, including background information about the topics covered, a description of how to use the application, and exploration questions for use with the java applet.

Type: Educational Game

Students are asked to explain the meaning of each coordinate and identify the x- and y-coordinates of a given ordered pair.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students describe the different components of a coordinate plane and then determine the coordinates of a point located in quadrant one.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students will use directions provided to locate a point on the coordinate plane and then identify its x- and y-coordinates.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to explain the meaning of each coordinate and identify the x- and y-coordinates of a given ordered pair.

Type: Formative Assessment

This set of geometry challenges focuses on creating a variety of polygons using the coordinate plane as students problem solve and think as they learn to code using block coding software.  Student will need to use their knowledge of the attributes of polygons and mathematical principals of geometry to accomplish the given challenges. The challenges start out fairly simple and move to more complex situations in which students can explore at their own pace or work as a team. Computer Science standards are seamlessly intertwined with the math standards while providing “Step it up!” and “Jump it up!” opportunities to increase rigor.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson students will learn how to plot ordered pairs on a grid. The students will physically hop on a (12x12) coordinate grid created by the teacher. The student will accurately plot ordered pairs given.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson, students will identify and graph points on the first quadrant of a coordinate plane and then use their knowledge to create and play a game to determine the position of treasure as indicated on a coordinate plane.

Type: Lesson Plan

This is a fun hands-on and interactive lesson on graphing ordered pairs on a coordinate grid.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson introduces the students to the coordinate system.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will learn how to plot coordinates on the x and y-axis in the first quadrant. Students will start with plotting and creating simple shapes and progress through more complex shapes. The wrap up lesson will have the students plot and create their own town.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

Students will graph points on a coordinate plane to help them to determine which property would be best suited for a recreational building. This lesson has students practice graphing points, as well as challenging their critical thinking skills with a real world problem.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will work cooperatively using varying modalities in order to demonstrate how to graph coordinates(ordered pairs) on a coordinate plane. Students will be engaged in singing, dancing, and using either stickers or self created illustrations to create a coordinate grid treasure map.

Type: Lesson Plan

Learn about the basics of the coordinate plane by focusing on Quadrant I and see why the coordinate plane is useful in everyday life in this interactive tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

Learn how to accurately plot coordinates on a plane in interactive tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

The purpose of this task is to give students practice plotting points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane and naming coordinates of points. It could be easily adapted to plotting points with negative coordinates. It also provides teachers with a good opportunity to assess how well their students understand how to plot ordered pairs and identify the coordinates of points.

Type: Problem-Solving Task

This Khan Academy tutorial video presents how to graph an ordered pair of positive numbers on the x- and y-axis of a coordinate plane.

Type: Tutorial

The Cartesian Coordinate system, formed from the Cartesian product of the real number line with itself, allows algebraic equations to be visualized as geometric shapes in two or three dimensions.  While this tutorial includes the basis of Coordinate system, it also includes ideas beyond fifth grade standards.  Most likely only advanced fifth graders would find the video engaging.
