Dilation
Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

Graphing Greenery
Students gather leaves and trace them on graph paper. They plot coordinates that approximate the shape of the leaves and share those coordinates as "worksheets" for other students to complete.

How Do Cartographers Find Points on a Map?
Ninth graders describe latitude and longitude and how they may be useful to find things on a map. In this cartography lesson students divide into groups and devise a coordinate system that can be used to communicate a position.
Curated OER
Graphing Game
Students explore the concept of graphing ordered pairs. In this graphing ordered pairs lesson, students work in teams to play a version of Connect 4. Students use a Cartesian grid with values -4 to 4 as their Connect 4 board. Students...

Fourth graders compare and contrast gliding flight and true flight. They investigate the basic principles of aeronautics. The class participates in activities to observe lift and the effect of air. Students design and fly their own...
Curated OER
Plotting Points
Eighth graders practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. As a class, they create and label the parts of a graph. Given ordered pairs, they plot the points, connect them to reveal a particular shape, and find the area of the shape.

Worksheet 13
In this math worksheet, middle schoolers write down the equation of a plane. Then they create the equation of a line. They also define the lines that are perpendicular.
Curated OER
Flips, Turns, and Slides: Adventures with Transformations
Students explore transformations. In this math instructional activity, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.
Curated OER
Steep, Steeper, and Steepest
Fifth graders discuss ways to move large rocks. They relate this to building a rock garden, and the ways people might load boulders into a truck. Students discuss the use of a ramp vs. lifting the boulder straight up onto the bed of the...

Chapter 3: Worksheet 3A Functions
In this function worksheet, students sketch functions, label the graph, and plot points on a coordinate plane. This one-page worksheet contains 22 problems.
Curated OER
Ramps 1: Let it Roll!
Students perform the following activity as a group so that they can gain experience with how ramps work. Students will first construct a simple ramp and then time how fast different objects roll down that ramp.

Identify and Graph Linear Equations
Students investigate linear functions. For this mathematics lesson, students plot points onto a graph by solving the equations y=x and y=mx+b by being given numbers for x and solving for y.
Curated OER
Graphing and Interpreting Linear Equations in Two Variables
Graph linear equations using a table of values. Learners solve equations in two variables using standard form of an equation. They identify the relationship between x and y values.

What's Your Shoe Size? Linear Regression with MS Excel
Learners collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, pupils create a liner model of their data and analyze it using central tendencies. They find the linear regression using a spreadsheet.
Curated OER
Small and Large Squares
Young mathematicians classify squares according to attributes. They sort squares according to specific attributes. Students explore squares in repeating patterns and order squares according to size. Engaging extension activities are...
