What educators are saying

I used this as an extension for my 5th graders because they needed the extra challenge to move beyond just the first quadrant. I love that the coordinate planes do not come labeled with numbers because it helped students be more precise when labeling!
My students thought the premise was cute. It was good practice. I made my students do every page and it was a bit overkill.

Description

There’s something strange in your neighborhood! Ghosts have managed to escape the capture chamber and have wreaked havoc all over the region. On the case in this 21st Century Math Project is an upstart ghost catching team, the Ghostblasters. Given the ordered pairs on the Ghostblasters radar, find which buildings are infested with ghosts.

Blend ordered pair and coordinate plane practice with fun for all!

In this 20 page document you will be given a mapping to the Content Standards, an outline for how to implement the project, 3 assignments and one project! ***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A GOOGLE SLIDES INTERACTIVE VERSION INCLUDED. REDOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY***


Included are...

-- In “Who Ya Gonna Call?” students practice naming ordered pairs and plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Students must find the locations of the ghosts on the map.

-- In “Sketch the Slimer” students practice graphing a number of ordered pairs to uncover the image of a mysterious ghost.

-- In “Make Your Own Ghost” students draw their own ghosts and map them out of ordered pairs.

-- In “Ghostblasters: Disaster Day” students work together to find the locations of ghosts that have popped up all throughout the city. I have included 4 different locations. You can have students work in groups to solve all four of them, you can give all four as a packet or you can cut it down by not using certain locations.

An answer key has been added to the end of the file for your convenience.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
