Position and Time Graphs
A series of graphs are displayed with points plotted for time and position. A question is asked for each, requiring your class to view one axis and track its partner coordinate. A few examples are given to begin each section, and so this...

Ditch Diggers
What's the best way to dig a ditch? Scholars watch a video that shows the progress of ditch digging from two ends. Using coordinate geometry, they determine whether two ends will eventually connect to form one single ditch or not.

Getting Around Millbrook
When is the distance formula not accurate? Referencing a map of the school, pairs determine the walking distance between two locations. Creating coordinates for each location, pupils determine the distance between the two points and...

Lesson 2 Solving y=mx+b systems
Students solve linear systems using slope intercept form. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations by rewriting them in the form y = mx + b. They evaluate coordinate pairs to see if they are a solution to the problem. Students...

Creature Caverns
Plot the relationship of characteristics of creepy creatures. Learners plot the coordinates to describe the number of eyes, horns, and/or brains different creatures have. Pupils fill out a table to plot the points and complete the pattern.

A Sum of Functions
Collaborative learners will see the geometric addition of functions by graphing the sum of two graphed curves on the same coordinate plane. This task then naturally flows into giving learners the algebraic representation of the curves...

Reflections in the Plane
Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.
