Grid Roundup: Coordinate Plane Game for Grades 5‑8
Find the lost animals on the map before night falls.
Lost animals are hiding at coordinates on a map grid. Read each ordered pair, steer your cursor to the exact point, and beat the night timer. Start in the first quadrant, move on to all four quadrants, then use slope and y = mx + b equations to pick the trail that passes through the most animals.

What kids practise
Grid Roundup gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with coordinate plane, ordered pairs, four quadrants, slope, and linear equations. It is written for grades 5-8, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
Controls: Arrow keys move the cursor (hold Shift to jump 3), Enter checks your answer, 1-3 or A-C pick a trail, P pauses, M toggles sound. On touch: tap the map to place the cursor, then tap Check.
It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
