4. Coordinate plane - 4 Quadrants - This one-sheet workbook had a coordinate plane with nine colored dots. Use an interactive whiteboard and have your students drag the dots to represent an ordered pair that you specify.
5. Coordinate Plane Game - timed game using Flash animation, determine the ordered pair for the given point on the plane
6. General Coordinates Game - Students investigate the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted.
7. Graphing Skills - What's the point? find the point on the grid (choose Medium or Hard for all four Quadrants)
8. Horizontal Line (Coordinate Geometry) - Drag the points A or B and note the line is horizontal when they both have the same y-coordinate.
9. Locate the Aliens - your job is to enter the coordinates of the aliens when they appear on the plane
10. Math Open Reference: Coordinate Plane - Drag the point A. As you drag note the two numbers that define its position on the plane. Drag the origin to reposition the axes.
11. Maze Game - This activity allows the user to practice their point plotting skills by having them move a robot through a mine field to a target location. Moves are accomplished by specifying the coordinates of the new location. In order to win, the path must not cross a mine.
12. Maze Game - Students use their knowledge of points on a graph to move a robot to the target, while avoiding mines.
