Coordinate Planes Game : 5th Grade Center : Math Review Rotation Station

Coordinate Plane Geometry Game: Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems (quadrant 1 only). Are you working with your students on the following standard: 5.G.A.1 "Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. " If so, using this game to help review coordinate planes is a great way to reinforce the standard.

How does the game work? Students will roll, solve, and then go. On a student's turn, they will roll the dice one time. They will then move that many spaces. They will then answer the question, fill in the blank, or do as told based on what it says in the space they land. They will use the coordinate grid "My Town" to help answer the questions.

For example, they may land on a space that says, "What is located at (10,11)" or "Which 2 locations have an X axis of 1?" or "What is located 1 block west and 2 blocks south of the cinema?"

Their partner will check the answer using the key. If they get it right, they get to move ahead one more space. If they miss it, they move back 3 spaces. The first one to the end wins the game.

**Please, ... if you are unsure about anything with the game or you have questions, I would appreciate if you send me a message before purchasing. I want you to be happy with the activity. :-) Thank you.**

NOTE: This is a black/white game with black line graphics. There is NOT a color copy included. When I created this for my own class, I decided to make something that took few copies, something that would save my ink, something that had easy directions, and was very little prep work. :-)

This coordinate plane game will work perfectly as a math center during math rotations.

For this game, you will need a dice, game markers, the game board, the 'my town'

coordinate grid, and the answer key.

Your students are sure to have fun as they play.

PLEASE... if you ever see that I made a mistake or an error on the answer key, please allow me a chance to get it corrected for you. I can usually do so very quickly. I have two sets of eyes look at everything, but we might miss something here or there. Not much, but it can happen. Thank you ahead of time! It is greatly appreciated. Just send me a message on my Q and A, and I will get it taken care of.
