Lesson Details
Key learning points
- It is possible to plot coordinates approximately in the correct quadrant.
- Coordinates can be plotted exactly when the axes are labelled.
- By careful consideration of coordinates the missing vertices of a shape can be found.
Common misconception
Where is coordinate (−2,5)? 2 down, 5 right from the origin? 5 right, 2 down from the origin?
Coordinates in (x,y) form. −2 is x-instruction. From (0,0) will we travel in a positive or negative x-direction?
Keywords
