1. Battleship - Cartesian Coordinates.
Click Image to Enlarge		Based on the classic Battleship board game, this applet allows you to practice using Cartesian coordinates while playing against a computerized opponent! The goal is to sink all of your opponent's ships before your fleet is destroyed. SEE MORE
2. Coordinate Geometry.
Click Image to Enlarge		Match descriptions with a point. Match the descriptions below with a point given in the list on the right by typing its letter in the box provided. SEE MORE
3. Coordinates.
Click Image to Enlarge		In Coordinates, students learn latitude and longitude while learning the locations and names of the world’s nations. First, students are prompted to find the latitude coordinate. Once the latitude coordinate is found, the game locks the latitude position and the longitude lines animate into the map. Finally, students are prompted to find a point of longitude. If the clicked coordinates are close enough to the actual coordinates that they occur in the same nation, the student will have the opportunity to “guess” the name of the nation. SEE MORE
4. General Coordinates Game.
Click Image to Enlarge		Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. This activity allows the user to plot points on the coordinate plane and to read the coordinates of a point plotted by the computer. SEE MORE
5. Graphing Equations and Inequalities Unit Quiz.
Click Image to Enlarge		Check your understanding with this eight question quiz. Are these statements true or false? SEE MORE
6. Graphing Linear Equations.
Click Image to Enlarge		Learn and practice graphing linear equation. SEE MORE
7. Graphing Ordered Pairs.
Click Image to Enlarge		Lesson with interactive practice on graphing and locating ordered pairs on a grid. Ordered pairs are useful in representing relationships between two sets of data, in the form of a graph. These can then be represented by points on a grid known as the Cartesian Coordinate System in 2-D. SEE MORE
8. Maze Game.
Click Image to Enlarge		Use your knowledge of points on a plane to move a robot to the target, while avoiding mines. "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." SEE MORE
9. Ordered Simple Plot.
Click Image to Enlarge		Input a series of (x,y) ordered pairs and plot them in the order the pairs are inputted, either connected or as unconnected data points. "This applet allows the user to input a series of (x,y) ordered pairs and plot them in the order the pairs are inputted. This allows the user to plot points so they are not necessarily a function. For inputting ordered pairs and graphing those pairs from the smallest x value to the largest, use Simple Plot. Parameters such as minimum and maximum x value, minimum and maximum y value, and x- and y-scale can be set by the user or determined by the applet." SEE MORE
10. Simple Coordinates Game.
Click Image to Enlarge		Investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. "This activity allows the user to plot points on the coordinate plane and to read the coordinates of a point plotted by the computer." SEE MORE
11. Simple Maze Game.
Click Image to Enlarge		Investigate the first Quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the plane. "This game allows users 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." SEE MORE
12. Slope and y-intercept.
Click Image to Enlarge		Practice finding the slope or values of slope and y-intercept. SEE MORE
13. Spy Guys Interactive - Using Ordered Pairs.
Click Image to Enlarge		Watch the video and respond at various places in Lesson 18. This is an interactive lesson and exercise. This would be a great activity to use on your Interactive White Board. SEE MORE
14. Stock the Shelves.
Click Image to Enlarge		You have two minutes to put the soda bottles in their correct places on the coordinate plane. "Stock the Shelves is a fun way for students to reinforce their skills in using a coordinate plane. The game does require students to understand negative numbers in a coordinate plane as well as positive numbers. The idea is to help a store clerk "stock the shelves" with drinks such as soda and chocolate milk before customers arrive. Each bottle must be positioned in its exact location. Students have two minutes to position all 20 bottles." SEE MORE
15. Strategy Ships.
Click Image to Enlarge		Your opponent's ships are hiding. Can you find them all? Should you pack your ships closely together or spread them far apart? Is it best to sink your opponent's ship right away or locate the other ships first? SEE MORE
16. The Coordinate Plane.
Click Image to Enlarge		In this unit you can review/learn about equations in two variables. Workout gives students the opportunity to practice the skill. SEE MORE
17. What's the Point?
