Graphing Ordered Pairs

I wanted to touch base on graphing ordered pairs and tie in a little geometry. I found this book while on a trip in California and the kids love it!!! There are a variety of pictures and it's not just a connect the dots. There are basic geometry questions and a thorough check on graphing ordered pairs skills.
As soon as I scan and upload the PDF, I'll let you know!
There's an excellent foldable for a more in depth look at the coordinate plane. And I believe Math=Love has typed it up.

The format and variety of graphing ordered pairs is great for the students. And I can keep a check on those geometry skills.

Cartesian Coordinate Plane Again

My journal pages are now working towards a compilation of foldables within a larger foldable. I try to devote a page to a concept with a combination of approaches-definition, strategies, manipulatives, etc.

For Algebra, I wanted to review to coordinate plane. I used a half page overall and divided into sections. One section was for definitions.

The second was for the foldable that diagramed the components.

The third section is on the back side of the second and is used for a check for understanding

Students liked this page because we stepped outside my traditional boring half page book.
