For this task, students label coordinate axes appropriately to plot a given set of points by choosing an appropriate scale.

This resource accompanies our Rethink 6th Grade Math course. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

This is an intermediate Learning Plan. This can be used with 6th grade Math students when working on standard NS.6.b The Coordinate Plane. You can change the links to suit your needs.This resource was developed as part of a professional learning opportunity funded by the NCDPI Digital Learning Initiative Planning Grant.

In this lesson, students draw a coordinate plane on graph paper in two steps: (1) Draw and order the horizontal and vertical axes and (2) Mark the number scale on each axis. Given some points as ordered pairs, students make reasonable choices for scales on both axes, and locate and label the points on graph paper.

In this lesson, students extend their understanding of the coordinate plane to include all four quadrants, and recognize that the axes (identified as the -axis and -axis) of the coordinate plane divide the plane into four regions called quadrants (that are labeled from first to fourth and are denoted by Roman Numerals). Students identify the origin, and locate points other than the origin, which lie on an axis. Students locate points in the coordinate plane that correspond to given ordered pairs of integers and other rational numbers.

This activity allows the user to plot points on the coordinate plane and to read the coordinates of a point plotted by the computer.

In this interactive, students use logic and mathematical skill to place aquatic animals at locations on a Cartesian graph with cardinal directions. Then, they determine both the vertical and horizontal distances between points. The riddles in the interactive, including one that requires an understanding of rate, have randomized values so that students can practice placing points at different locations and calculating different distances. The accompanying classroom activity provides a review of concepts related to determining the distances between points on a Cartesian graph and a response sheet to help students work with the interactive

CK-12 Foundation's Middle School Math Grade 6 Flexbook covers the fundamentals of fractions, decimals, and geometry. Also explored are units of measurement, graphing concepts, and strategies for utilizing the book's content in practical situations.

Sample Learning Goals
Use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in multiple contexts.
Explain the meaning of positive values, negative values, and zero, in multiple contexts.
Describe the location of a point on a number line with respect to another number.
Describe the location of a point on a number line with respect to its opposite
Define the absolute value of a number as its distance from zero.
Interpret inequality statements as statements about the relative position of two integers on a number line diagram.

This is a two-part activity on ordered pairs, distance, reflection. Part 1 consists of four stations where students will identify ordered pairs points, plot points, and determine distance and reflection.  During part 2 students will plot points from part 1 and then code a mini sphero robot to move to selected points.  

In this lesson, students use ordered pairs to name points in a grid and to locate points on a map. Students identify the first number in an ordered pair as the first coordinate and the second number as the second coordinate.

In this assignment, students practice plotting points on a coordinate plane, stating each point and stating the quadrant or axis each point lies in.
