SCORE Lesson - Coordinate Graphing From graphs to stories - Shodor: Project Interactivate This link provides as excellent opportunity to reinforce function graphing skills.  These students are provided with a story and they have to provide a graph to match the story. Conclusion: Plotting points on the coordinate axis is a great topic and has unlimited opportunities for activities in the classroom.  Sometimes when I start coordinate graphing, I run around like a crazy person checking all my students work and checking that they are doing it correctly.  This lesson and the sites that have been linked to it provide an excellent reinforcement tool.  Student answers are checked instantly and the students won't even think of it as an assignment, it's a GAME!   SCORE Mathematics | | SCORE Mathematics Lessons Index | |  SCORE Mathematics Search California Academic Content Standards Grade 7: Algebra and Functions 1.0 Students express quantitative relationships using algebraic terminology, expressions, equations, inequalities and graphs. 1.5 represent quantitative relationships graphically and interpret the meaning of a specific part of a graph in terms of the situation represented by the graph 3.0 Students graph and interpret linear and some non-linear functions. 3.3 graph linear functions, noting that the vertical change (change in y -value) per unit horizontal change (change in x -value) is always the same and know that the ratio ("rise over run") is called the slope of a graph Measurement and Geometry 3.0 Students know the Pythagorean Theorem and deepen their understanding of plane and solid geometric shapes by constructing figures that meet given conditions and by identifying attributes of figures. 3.2 understand and use coordinate graphs to plot simple figures, determine lengths and areas related to them, and determine their image under translations and reflections   NCTM 5-8:   Standard 1:  Mathematics as Problem Solving   Standard 2:  Mathematics as Communication   Standard 3:  Mathematics as Reasoning   Standard 4:  Mathematical Connections   Standard 5:  Number and Number Relationships   Standard 8:  Patterns and Functions   Standard 12: Geometry Copyright © Kings County Office of Education June 1998 / Revised January 10, 2003 SCORE Webmaster
