*Check out more similar ideas on my website! TeachBeyondtheDesk.com For coordinate graphing, I made a giant floor graph using a sheet of plastic drop cloth and masking tape. I taped the underside of the plastic and numbered each axis. For several years now, I've used this graph as a way to get kids up and moving during our graphing unit. However, this year I noticed some of my students having trouble following the grid lines up to each axis to find the numbers for the ordered pairs (coordinates). Many of my students have visual/perceptual disabilities, so following a line can be difficult. To meet that need, we came up with the following activities: Driving on the Floor Graph I printed basic clip art images that say "Crash!". I laminated them and then placed them around the graph. I brought in some Hot Wheels-style cars (Shh! Don't tell my kids!). The students placed 2 cars at the crash site and then "drove" out along the "roads" (grid lines) until they reached each axis. Have you ever seen 6th grade boys with toy cars? Ha! They had a blast! And we solved the problem of students not being able to follow the grid lines. This idea then morphed or grew into the Floor Graph City Challenge. Floor Graph City Challenge This activity has 2 parts. I printed clip art of basic city locations like a hospital, school, park, church, house, and store. I laminated these, then affixed a loop of tape on the back of each. For the first part of the challenge, I placed the buildings around the graph. Students used their toy cars to "drive" out from each location to the axis lines. For the second part, I listed ordered pairs (coordinates) for each building, and the students had to place them correctly on the graph. They could use the toy cars to check their work. You could easily use a floor graph like this for many more activities. What would you use if for? UPDATE: here are the Google Docs I use with this activity. Feel free to download and edit!

for the past few weeks I have been mostly working away on my Millefiore Quilt, this is what I've got up on my design wall, I wandered away from the original plan, as set out by Katja, since I wanted to make the rosettes more fully round in places, then, I modified it again, making it more rectangular and filling in background spaces with a blue diamond pattern, the rosettes are quite a lot of fun, and I've even designed a few of my own, which makes me even more impressed by all the wonderful designs Katja has done! someone asked about the way I made the paper templates. The advantage of making them yourself is that you can modify designs and make new shapes. Plus, you could make as many or as few as you need. so this is how I do it, it is actually very simple. I just go to a site called incompetech.com which is a free graph paper generator. You can print off graph paper of equilateral triangles in any size. Choose the .5 inch size. then, print off a stack of this paper on to 67 lb cover stock. (. Some people may need to turn off the option in Adobe's Acrobat reader "shrink to fit" which may resize the grid slightly to fit your printer's printable area.). then, it is easy to just cut the shapes you need, i keep all my previous shapes organized in a booklet that has clear plastic pockets, this is the start of the rosette for May!

This lyric sheet can be sung to the tune of "All About the Bass" by Meghan Trainor and is a fun way to help teach your students about Geometry and Graphing! These lyrics can be used to kick off each geometry lesson and has an entire songs' worth of facts- over 3 minutes! Ideas included in the lyrics: - Plotting an ordered pair onto a coordinate plane. - The x-axis is flat. - The origin is center and it's our starting point when graphing. - Move left or right first, and then move up or down when graphing. - Look at the lengths of sides and the angles to determine a shape's properties. - Parallel lines do not touch. - Perpendicular lines form a cross. - A line of symmetry shows a shape that looks the same when it is cut in half. - You know we're all about the shapes, 'bout the shapes! No problem! These lyrics are a hit in my classroom, and really help students become enthusiastic about learning geometry and graphing. Sing it acapella, or use an instrumental version of the song to add some extra fun! If you have any questions regarding this product, please do not hesitate to ask! Enjoy!
