Coordinate Plane Activities to Make Learning Fun
In addition to our Battleship Coordinate Plane Game, there are many ways to make teaching and learning this concept fun. Here are some ideas you can try with your students.
- Treasure Hunt: Ask students to follow clues that lead them to specific points in the classroom or school where they can find “treasures” or tokens. (This works especially well if you have a tiled floor!)
- Coordinate Plane Art: Students can create a picture using plotted points on a coordinate grid. They can then trade the ordered pairs with a partner and recreate each other’s art!
- Coordinate Pair Relay: Give students an ordered pair. Students race to find the corresponding point on a large poster or whiteboard.
- Graphing Stories: Students can write short stories involving characters at specific coordinates. They can then plot the characters’ movements on a coordinate plane, visually representing their story.
