* This project is for advanced coordinate graphing students.
* Knowledge of fractions is a must: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4 for
the Outline and 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 3/8, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 7/8 for the
Students will put their knowledge of coordinate systems, coordinate graphing and ordered pairs to work creating a drawing of the Eiffel Tower. This will be created by plotting ordered pairs and then connecting them with straight lines.
This activity can be a class project or something to be worked on independently when time allows. It also works as an extra credit assignment or when there is a substitute. Looks great on a bulletin board, too.
This project is for the advanced graphing student. The graph consists of points in the first quadrant using ordered pairs with whole numbers and many fractional points using the fractions 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 3/8, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 7/8 for detail. When finished, they can use markers, colored pencils or other medium to enhance the project.
This lesson includes coordinate graph paper for plotting, a coordinate list and a full sized answer key.
If you like this project please let me know. There are over 50 projects covering the entire school year and some projects are cross curricular (Sports, Patriotism, Seasons, Holidays, History, and Science). Lessons begin at 4th grade and are appropriate for the Middle School and some for High School students. These projects have been used successfully at both the Elementary and Middle School levels.
All projects are copyrighted, so please don’t distribute them to all of your colleagues. Instead direct them to my Store,
