Lesson details
Key learning points
- Pairs of coordinates that follow a rule can be found.
- Pairs of coordinates that follow a rule can be plotted.
- Coordinates that follow a rule will follow a pattern.
- A rule can be identified from the pairs of coordinates.
Keywords
Equation - An equation is used to show two expressions that are equal to each other.
Common misconception
Pupils may try to spot patterns between consecutive coordinates. E.g. the y value goes up in ones.
Get pupils to think about the relationship between x and y within a coordinate. Include non-integer values and coordinates not in order.

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.
