It's report card time and you face the prospect of writing constructive, insightful, and original comments on a couple dozen report cards or more. Peter Heusinger, Stratford High School in Goose Creek, South Carolina I have them turn in their game sheets and give them a 100 for a class-work grade if they completed the games. I check their graphs to see if they are correct. Write down ten coordinates on the board and have them graph them. The winner of the game is the first person who guesses the locations of (sinks) each of his/her opponent's ships.Īfter students have played the game a few times, have them draw another coordinate plane. When the player has guessed all the coordinates of a ship, his or her opponent must "give up the ship that has been sunk" by telling the opponent of his/her success.) Gradually, students narrow down the exact locations of all of the opponent's ships. As they play the game, each player should record all his/her right and wrong coordinate guesses on the blank coordinate graph. The student who asked the question notes on his or her graph that the opponent does have a ship there.) If they choose a coordinate where their opponent has placed one of his/her ships, they get to guess another coordinate. (For example, a player might ask, Have you a ship at x coordinate 4, y coordinate -2? If the opponent does have a ship at that location, he or she must respond in the affirmative. Students take turns guessing coordinates that might be the locations of their opponent's ships. That way, when they lift up the fold, they will see the graph with their plotted ships above the fold (for easy access as the player answers his opponent's questions) and the blank graph flat on their desks so they can record the locations of their opponents ships as they guess the ships' coordinates. They will keep their graph papers in front of them, folded. Note: It is a good idea to familiarize all students with the rules of the game by playing one game with the whole class trying to guess where you have placed your ships.
The coordinate plane below the fold should be left blank. The five ships will follow these specifications: The ships must be placed vertically or horizontally (not diagonally) and must remain within +5 and -5 on both axes.
On the coordinate plane graph that is above the fold, have students plot the locations of five ships. Each plane should be labeled from -5 to +5 on both the x and y axes. They should draw one coordinate plane above the fold and one below. Instruct students to fold a sheet of graph paper in half and draw 2 coordinate planes ( see a sample image). This lesson idea is adapted from the board game "Battleship" by Milton Bradley. Students will get practice plotting points on a coordinate plane by playing a game similar to Battleship.Ĭorrectly plot coordinates on the coordinate plane.Ĭoordinate plane, coordinates, plane, axis, x axis, y axis, battleship
