Why this why now
This unit develops the position and direction work from previous units and uses coordinates to describe positions of points and polygons. Pupils plot and translate shapes in the first quadrant. The unit provides the opportunity to review the properties of polygons and to apply new knowledge of coordinates. This unit leads to coordinates beyond the first quadrant and to considering reflections as well as translations.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Read and plot values on a number line
- Understand vertical and horizontal directions
- Locate positions on a simple grid using (x, y) format

Coordinates
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.
