7th grade math worksheet: design Amara's quilt block by plotting diamond and corner shapes on a coordinate plane in inches. Answer key included. Part of our coordinate plane geometry collection.

How do I use this worksheet?

Use them after students are comfortable plotting points in all four quadrants. The quilt block task works well as a longer assignment.

What students will practice

  • Students will plot the vertices of each quilt shape and connect them in order.
  • Students will use a grid where one unit stands for 1 inch.
  • Students will find areas of the shapes in the quilt block and show work.

What does this worksheet teach?

Design Amara's quilt block by plotting diamond and corner shapes on a coordinate plane in inches. The directions on the page read: Follow each part in order. Show your work in the boxes. An answer key is included.

Can I use this coordinate plane worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

⌄

Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade geometry, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

How do you find the area of a polygon on a coordinate plane?

⌄

Read the coordinates of the vertices, use them to find side lengths, then apply the area formula. For irregular polygons, split the figure into rectangles and triangles and add the areas.

How do you find a side length between two points?

⌄

When two points share an x or y value, subtract the other coordinates and use the distance between them. With negative values, count the units across zero.

What is the quilt block worksheet?

⌄
