Introduction to Coordinates
Students start by understanding the basics of coordinate planes, learning to identify points on a grid. They explore simple mappings of objects and points. By Year 5, they use coordinates to solve problems and understand geometric relationships, preparing them for more advanced studies in algebra and geometry.
Plotting Points on a Grid
Initially learning to plot simple points, students gradually use coordinates to represent more complex figures and data sets. They learn to navigate and interpret maps and diagrams. By Year 5, they proficiently plot and interpret points and shapes on various coordinate grids.
Simple Shapes in Coordinate Geometry
Starting with plotting points to form simple shapes, students progress to understanding how shapes can be transformed within a coordinate system. By Year 5, they explore the properties of shapes through coordinates, using this knowledge to solve problems in geometry and real-world applications.
