Virtual Manipulatives- Point Plotter (Algebra gr.6-8)
I found point plotter to be very useful. This virtual manipulative game starts off with giving you 3 points that it wants you to plot. For instance, (6, 2),(9, -8),(5, 6) by clicking on the coordinating grid. After you plot all three you check the answer. If it is correct you can solve another problem. This helps students identify the x and y axis. It also helps understand where the negative numbers are and the positive numbers. I would use this as a follow up activity to a lesson.
