Math with Merritt

In this Betta Math Lesson, students will use mirrors to discover what it means to reflect various ordered pairs across the axes of a coordinate plane. Students will recognize patterns as they work through the student notes sheet and work with their partners. Please view the full lesson plan in the preview to see if this lesson may be something you would like to purchase. You can also view a short youtube video that shows students using this resource successfully within my own classroom. More inf

In this lesson students will learn how to plot odered pairs by learning that an ordered pair is where the x-coordinate and y-coordinate intersect. This lesson include a template for an interactive coordinate plane that students can keep in their notebooks and practice on using dry-erase markers. They will also discover how to determine which quadrant an ordered pair falls in by looking at which coordinates are negative and positive. (The best part about this lesson is that it includes an brief a

Four to Score is a game for students that have already learned about graphing ordered pairs and helps reinforce this skill, knowing the four Quadrants and knowing how to plot coordinates on each axis. This is a fun game that can be played to help students better understand how to plot coordinates. It also helps students visualize which coordinate is negative or positive within each QUADRANT. There is also an element of logical thinking when students have to decide which ordered pair would help t

This is a fun game that introduces the students to a fun fictional scenario where alligators from Australia have escaped in their town. They have been asked to use their knowledge of plotting ordered pairs to find all seven missing "Gators". I have used this game with many of my classes to practice plotting ordered pairs and everytime I play it, it is a hit!

Help Mathica Monster find her way around Scarytown! Mathica is new to Scarytown and needs to know where eveyrthing is, so you decide to help her by creating a coordinate plane map... In this FREE Betta Math resource, students apply their knowledge of coordinates to navigate and locate points of places in Scarytown. Each partner finds the same coordinates and creates identical maps, but finds the coordinates in a different order. As they do this they apply their knowledge of graphing coordinates
