Quadrant 1 Hop

Learn to graph points on a coordinate plane with our Quadrant 1 Hop!

Bring movement-based graphing activities to your classroom with our Quadrant 1 Hop! This tool is ideal for introducing the coordinate plane and early graphing concepts. This quadrant 1 graph allows students to plot points on the coordinate plane while moving and learning through play.

Our Quadrant 1 Hop depicts the first quadrant of the coordinate plane at a large scale. The floor mat version is available in three sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits your class’s needs. In any case, multiple students can use this blank coordinate grid together, promoting collaboration and interactive learning. Additionally, the eye-catching colors and easy-to-see format will keep any visual learner engaged.

Students learn best while they are moving. With the Quadrant 1 Hop, teachers can easily incorporate movement and physical activity into their graphing activities. Students’ learning comprehension and memory retention will be improved as a result of moving on the material while plotting points.

Overall, elementary students struggle to sit still. So why not encourage movement while exploring the positive values of the coordinate plane? A wide variety of kinesthetic activities are possible with this material. You can find plenty of fun graphing activities on our database!

The Quadrant 1 Hop is versatile for use in multiple math activities. Create bar graphs, picture graphs, line plots, and polygons using paper, rulers, or blocks. Teach new math concepts, including geometric shapes, composite shapes, perimeter, area, symmetrical lines, slope, distributive property, scaling, and shape transformations.

Above all, kids get so excited about graphing points on the coordinate plane with this material! Trade the graph paper for this larger-than-life quadrant 1 graph. Learn about the coordinate plane through movement!

Product Details

Materials: Our floor mats are made from heavy-duty vinyl. They are easy to clean, durable, and long-lasting. Some teachers have used their mats for over 10 years! Laminated floor mats combine the power of our heavy-duty vinyl material with dry-erase laminate. The laminate works well with a dry-erase marker and can be cleaned easily.

Dimensions: Regular Floor Mat – 10 x 10 feet; 5 x 5 feet / Laminated Floor Mat- 4 x 4 feet

Includes: X and Y axis (0 through 20)

Check out our material FAQ page for more information and instructions on caring for your floor mat.

*Note: Dry-erase mats are not slip-resistant. Place the mats in safe, non-high-traffic areas.

Sample Activity: Find the Ordered Pair

• Have a student stand on the intersection of the X and Y axes (0,0).
• Have another student call out a new coordinate (“5, 16!”).
• The student on the mat will jump to the new location.
• Then, have other students take turns calling out coordinates and jumping.
