This is an amazing hands on and visual way to learn and practice plotting points on the coordinate plane. This lesson is adaptable and reinforces and reteaches many previous lessons on ordered pairs and the coordinate plane. This product includes: *Instructions on how to set up the life- size coordinate plane for your classroom. *Worksheets for your students will proper instructions. *Labels for the parts of the coordinate plane *Objects to place on the coordinate plane with their proper ordered

This activity is an awesome way to teach area and perimeter to you students! Plus, they get a quick snack after they finish-that always makes for a good lesson that they will remember! 1. Each student gets 20 Cheez-Its (check for allergies and use other square shaped snacks if needed!) 2. Students will be creating different design shapes with all 20 Cheez-Its. 3. They will notice that the perimeter changes, but the area will always be 20! 4. After they physically create the shapes with the sna

This activity allows students to be creative and to design a house using graph paper. I have attached some larger graph printable paper, but you can use any size depending on the instructional level! Students will create a roof, door, house, and windows. They will cut out the shapes from the design on the graph paper. Then, they cut and paste on a larger sheet of paper. They find the area and perimeter of their house. You can also use this to find the area of the "whole neighborhood" (aka of ALL

Students will be asked to create a city map using all four quadrants of the Coordinate Plane. This download includes: *Directions/explanation *Coordinate Plane Printable *Grading Rubric

This is a great way to implement STEAM into your Math curriculum. I use this activity when I am working on my Interpreting Data Unit. Students will be creating a circuit and will test a total of 10 items. they will check off if they are conductors or insulators. Then, they will represent the data through a pie graph. You can also have students create pie graphs on Numbers or Excel to add a bit of technology to it too!

I use this activity during my Interpreting Data Unit. Students will be working with partners and will be flipping a penny 100 times and recording the data in tallies. Then, they will be spinning a penny 100 times and recording the data in tallies. Once all the data is collected, students will be creating TWO bar graphs to represent their data. Feel free to try out a double bar graph for kids who could understand/use a key to represent flipping vs. spinning bars. Fun Fact: Spinning, rather tha
