A set of lines used to help us accurately draw graphs is known as grid.

Position means where something is located (often in relation to something else.)

Horizontal means side to side, like the horizon.

Give directions from one position to another on a grid

Maths

Move objects including polygons on a grid according to directions and mark the new position

Describe translations of polygons drawn on a square grid

Draw polygons specified by translations

Mark the position of points specified by coordinates in the first quadrant of a coordinate grid

Write coordinates for already marked points in the first quadrant of a coordinate grid

Draw polygons specified by coordinates in the first quadrant

Complete polygons with missing coordinates

Translate polygons in the first quadrant

Solve problems involving marking and translating points in the first quadrant on a coordinate grid

In this unit pupils will give directions from one position to another on a grid and move objects including polygons on a grid according to directions, and mark the new position. They will describe and draw polygons specified by translations. In the future unit pupils will describe positions in all four quadrants drawing and translating simple shapes and reflecting them in the axes.

In the prior unit pupils rotated two lines around a fixed point to make different sized angles. They identified vertices. In this unit pupils will give directions from one position to another on a grid and move objects including polygons on a grid according to directions, and mark the new position. They will describe and draw polygons specified by translations.

Coordinates

A polygon is a 2D shape made up of three or more straight lines.

Translation is a transformation in which every point of a shape moves the same distance in the same direction. The act of moving is to translate.

Translation is a transformation in which every point of a shape moves the same distance in the same direction.

Sliding or moving a shape without rotating or flipping it means to translate.

Horizontal is side to side, like the horizon.

Vertical is an up-down direction or position.

The origin is where the x-axis and y-axis cross.

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

The x-axis runs horizontally (left-right) through zero.

The y-axis runs vertically (up-down) through zero.

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

A vertex is the point where two lines meet. The plural is vertices.

A vertex is the point where two or more line segments meet. The plural is vertices.

A vertex is the point where two or more lines meet. The plural is vertices.
