Mandala Coordinate Graphing Picture 1

With this no-prep activity, students will practice graphing coordinate points on all four quadrants of the coordinate plane (with precision up to one-fourth of a unit). Students will connect each point as they graph in order to reveal a beautiful mandala! This is a great way to review skills for graphing and the activity lends itself toward the discussion of fractional parts on the coordinate plane.

This activity is wonderful for early finishers, skills enrichment, sub plans, review, or a fun way to finish a unit. It’s also a great activity for the beginning or end of the school year and provides students motivation to practice their skills when they are exhausted after standardized testing or before an extended break (such as summer). When students are done, have them color their picture to use as fun classroom decor!
