In this program we look at applications of coordinate geometry. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at longitude and latitude as a spherical coordinate system for navigation.

Greenwich, England, is the location of the Prime Meridian and offers a point of departure for a discussion of the longitude and latitude coordinate system.

Centuries ago a Spanish galleon, The Atocha, sank off the coast of Florida, taking its gold treasure down with it. Aside from the technology used to recover the treasure, it was a rectangular coordinate system that made such an endeavor possible.

The Guggenheim Museum in New York City has a spiral shape that is an example of a polar coordinate graph. This shape, found often in nature, is a way to understand the Fibonacci Sequence.

In this Slide Show, we show how to generate the Fibonacci Sequence, as well as show to graph it. This presentation requires the use of the TI-Nspire iPad App. Note: the download is a PPT.

Use this math game to review coordinate geometry. UFOs appear on a coordinate grid and the goal is to target them using their location on the grid. Students earn 50 points with a direct hit, but lose 20 with a miss. The game keeps track of their score. Students can play endless rounds of this engaging game.
