Use this Cartesian plane game to practise plotting coordinates on the Cartesian plane.
A Cartesian Plane Game Students Can’t Wait to Play
If you are on the hunt for a Cartesian plane game that it won’t be a “battle” to get your students to play, you have found it! Students will practise plotting and naming coordinates on the Cartesian plane with this engaging two-player game.
This resource includes:
- Instruction sheet
- Battleship game board
This Cartesian plane game is great for stations, fast finishers, indoor recess, or guided groups. All students need is a pencil and a game board and they are ready to play!
Cartesian Plane Activities to Make Learning Fun
In addition to our Battleship Cartesian Plane Game, there are many ways to make teaching and learning this concept fun. Here are some ideas you can try with your students.
- Treasure Hunt: Ask students to follow clues that lead them to specific coordinates in the classroom or school where they can find “treasures” or tokens. (This works especially well if you have a tiled floor!)
- Cartesian Plane Art: Students can create a picture using coordinates on a Cartesian plane. They can then trade the coordinates with a partner and recreate each other’s art!
- Coordinates Relay: Give students a set of coordinates. Students race to find the corresponding points on a large poster or whiteboard.
- Graphing Stories: Students can write short stories involving characters at specific coordinates. They can then plot the characters’ movements on a Cartesian plane, visually representing their story.
