Coordinate Whack-a-Mole


Instructions

Type the coordinate of the mole hole to hit it. The game begins with quadrant 1 and gradually introduces all four quadrants, including negative numbers and non-integer values. In the final levels, the grid disappears—challenging you to estimate coordinates using intuition and number sense.

Introduction

Coordinate Whack-a-Mole is a free educational math game that helps students master graphing and coordinate pairs in a fun, interactive way. Players type in coordinates to “whack” the mole, building accuracy and confidence as they progress through increasingly challenging levels. From basic quadrant 1 practice to working with all four quadrants and beyond, this game turns coordinate graphing into an engaging experience.
