Graph Runner

MathGraphsGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice reading graphs and plotting coordinates, standing on the grid point that answers a chart-reading question or a coordinate pair written as (across, up), on a grid whose size a teacher sets.

How to play

Players use the arrow keys or W, A, S, D to walk to a square and press the space bar to lock it in as their answer, dodging static bursts sliding along the rows and columns. Three hits end the survey. A wrong answer stops the grid to show the correct point before it is asked again later.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which graph jobs are in play (chart reading, coordinates only, or all), how high the grid goes, the pictograph key value, the speed, and whether the answer is shown after a miss. The end-of-survey report includes a printable list of skills to practice.
