Drawing on a graph or map is known as plotting.

Problem solving with plotting coordinates

Maths

In this unit, pupils extend their knowledge of plotting coordinates from KS2 by now plotting non-integer values. Pupils learn that a set of points can satisfy a relationship and this understanding is built on in the sequences unit

In this unit, pupils learnt how to plot coordinates in all four quadrants via plotting positions and then shapes

Plotting coordinates

Which of the rules below does the coordinate (2,-12) follow?

What is the length of one side of this square

Work out the coordinate of the top right corner of this square

Match the coordinate with the two rules it follows

The lines $$x=4$$ and $$y=3$$ intersect at (3,4)

The lines $$y=x+15$$ and $$y=2x$$ intersect at (15,30)

The lines $$y=x$$, $$x=4$$ and $$y=4$$ as intersect at (4,4)

Two straight lines can intersect at 2 different coordinates

Which statements concerning intersection points are true?

At which coordinate do the lines $$y=4x$$ and $$y=x-9$$ intersect?

Two sides are the same length but the other two are different.

Which of these are properties of a square

Jun marks the coordinate (3,4) on a set of axes with a cross. What word best describes what he has done?

Lucas has put -3 and 4 on a number line. What calculation will give him the distance between these numbers on his number line?

Match the coordinate with the equation for the line it will lie on

These three coordinates are plotted on an axis. (-10,3)  (-8,3)  (-10,1). What coordinate needs to be plotted to form a square?
