This popular family of workbooks continues with the DESIGNS IN THE COORDINATE PLANE! This workbook, in combination with the workbook SYMMETRY IN THE COORDINATE PLANE, uses exercises to define sets of ordered pairs of numbers. These ordered pairs are then located as points on a coordinate plane.

 

As each student follows directions to connect the points, a geometric design, sometimes surprising, emerges!

 

In some of the activities only half of the design is completed by plotting points. Students are directed to complete the design based on the principles of symmetry. All of the designs involve points in the four quadrants.

 

Practicing math in combination with graphics provides an engaging learning experience for oh-so-cool middle school math students!
