Use our Math Reference Sheet When Learning About Coordinate Graphing 

Are your students starting to explore the concept of coordinate graphing? For many students, this is a fresh and exciting math concept because it is a bit different than adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Students learn how to complete an input-output table based on a particular rule, find the ordered pairs, and plot points on a coordinate plane. These points can then be connected to form lines on the graph. With this resource, students will learn the steps to plot a point on a coordinate plane.

This basic understanding of coordinate graphing will help students as they enter middle school. Students will then begin to learn about more advanced topics, such as finding the slope of a line.

How to Make the Most of Your Coordinate Graphing Poster

1. Print the poster and display it in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
2. Print the poster on letter-size paper, slip it into a clear sleeve, and use it in your guided groups as a reminder.
3. Print the poster on letter-size paper, slide it into a clear sleeve, and hang it on a ring as a reference tool for a learning center.

We’ve also come up with bonus ways to turn posters into interactive tools that really make your lessons stick!

📝 Create a fill-in-the-blank worksheet by removing selections of text.

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference.

💻 Provide posters as digital resources for virtual students.

🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them the poster, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
