Plotting coordinates generated from a rule
I can represent a set of coordinates, constructed according to a mathematical rule, both algebraically and graphically.
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.

Q1.In the coordinate $$(-6,4)$$, what is the value of the $$y$$ coordinate?
Q2.On the graph shown, which is the correct plotting of the coordinate $$(-2,2)$$?

Q3.Match the coordinate to the description.

A -Â The $$x$$ and $$y$$ coordinate are both 4
B -Â The $$y$$ coordinate is 4 and the $$x$$ coordinate is 1
C -Â The $$y$$ and $$x$$ values are both 1
D -Â The $$x$$ coordinate is 4 and the $$y$$ coordinate is 1
Q4.Which equation represents the sentence '$$y$$ is 3 less than $$x$$'
Q5.Which equation represents the sentence '$$x$$ is 4 lots of $$y$$'
Q6.Match the calculation with the correct answer.
$$(-2.5) + 4$$ -Â 1.5
$$2.5 + (-4)$$ -Â -1.5
$$(-2.5)-4$$ -Â -6.5
$$(-2.5) \times 4$$ -Â -10
$$(-2.5) \times (-4)$$ -Â 10
