Solve problems involving missing coordinates

Maths

Explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram

Use the area of a parallelogram formula to calculate unknown measurements

Explain how to calculate the area of a triangle

Use the area of a triangle  to calculate unknown measurements

Solve problems involving area and perimeter

Describe the relationship between scale factors and perimeters of two shapes

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

Draw and translate simple shapes on the full coordinate grid

Reflect simple shapes in the axes on a full coordinate grid

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.

The vertices of a square have been plotted. What is the missing x value?

The vertices of a square have been plotted. What is the missing y value?

If you know the x and y coordinates of vertex a, what other coordinates do you know?

No. You can't work out either side length of the rectangle from one coordinate.

No. You can't work out the long side of the rectangle from one coordinate.

No. You can't work out the short side of the rectangle from one coordinate.

Two congruent rectangles have been placed on a coordinate grid. Is there enough information to work out the missing coordinates?

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

What is the coordinate that has been plotted on the grid?

Which of these correctly shows the reflection of the unshaded shape in the y-axis?
