Getting the Goods on Graphing
Young scholars explore graphing. In this math lesson plan, students graph ordered pairs in the coordinate plane, write the coordinates of points shown on a plane, and create designs or pictures using ordered pairs.

Geometry: Helix-a-Graph
Students use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns instructional activity, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Perplexing Puzzles
Elementary and middle schoolers explore scatter plots. In this graphing activity, pupils work in small groups and use jigsaw puzzles to develop a scatter plot. Younger students may develop a bar graph.

The Order of Things on a Coordinate Grid
High schoolers are able to identify ordered pairs on coordinate plane, and graph points on a coordinate plane. They are able to write an ordered pair for each of the points on a graph, and create a design or picture using ordered pairs.

Let's Plot Points
Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Shapes on a grid #1
Before learning about the coordinate plane and ordered pairs, have kids get used finding locations on the grid. They are given a simple set of coordinates, which they will locate on the grid. A great way to introduce the concept.
