Checking understanding of plotting coordinates
I can plot coordinates in the first quadrant.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Coordinates can be plotted in the first quadrant.
- Shapes can be described using coordinates.
- Moving all the points of a shape using the same rule will translate the shape.
Common misconception
Confusion between which is which out of (1,4) and (4,1). Is it up and along? Along and up?
Clarity of language helps. Coordinates are written x, then y coordinate. Move first in the x-direction. There are no 'corridors and stairs'.
Keywords

Origin - The origin is where the $$x$$-axis and $$y$$-axis cross. It has the coordinate pair (0,0).
