Lesson details
Key learning points
- Coordinates can be entered onto Desmos and they will be plotted.
- A rule can be entered in Desmos to generate coordinates.
- It is possible to spot coordinates that are not following the rule easily using Desmos.
- Desmos can be used to create mathematical shapes and pictures using coordinates.
Keywords
Origin - The origin is where the $$x$$-axis and $$y$$-axis cross. It has the coordinate pair (0,0).
Common misconception
Pupils may think that coordinates that make a square/ rectangle follow a linear pattern.
In order for coordinates to follow a rule written as an equation, there needs to be a relationship between the values within a coordinate.

The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format.
We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.

Q1.What is the coordinate of the origin?
Q2.Plot these 4 coordinates on Desmos. What shape do they form? $$(2.5,-4)\;(7,-2.2)\;(10.6,-11.2)\;(6.1,-13)$$
