Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position.

Any of the four areas made when a plane is divided by an x and y axis is called a quadrant.

The x and y lines that cross at right angles to make a graph or grid are called axes, which is the plural of axis.

Draw and complete simple shapes by plotting positions on the full coordinate grid

Maths

In this unit pupils will explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram and a triangle describing the relationship between scale factors and side lengths. They will describe positions in all four quadrants drawing and translating simple shapes and reflecting them in the axes In the future unit pupils extend their knowledge of plotting coordinates by now plotting non-integer values.

In the prior unit pupils used knowledge of shape properties to draw, sketch and identify shapes. In this unit pupils will explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram and a triangle. They will describe the relationship between scale factors and side lengths of two shapes. They will describe positions in all 4 quadrants drawing and translating simple shapes and reflecting them in the axes.

Area, perimeter, position and direction

negative x coordinate, positive y coordinate

positive x coordinate, positive y coordinate

negative x coordinate, negative y coordinate

positive x coordinate, negative y coordinate

Match the quadrant to the correct description:

Match the coordinate to the quadrant where it can be found.

Select the correct notation of the coordinate marked on this grid.

Write the correct notation of the coordinate marked on this grid.

Which shape has been plotted onto a coordinate grid using the following coordinates? 
(1,1)     (1,3)     (−1,1)     (−1,3)

A rectangle is being plotted onto a coordinate grid. The vertices are at (−1,−2)   (−3,−2) and (−3,2),  Where should the missing vertex be positioned?

Which of these is the correct notation for the coordinate point marked on the grid?

What shape is being described here? Two pairs of equal sides, equal in length. The angles are all right angles.
