Math with Merritt

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!
