Coordinates

An introduction to the use of coordinates for younger students

Publisher: Texas Instruments UK

Editor: Barrie Galpin

Topic:  Mathematics

Tags  Coordinate systems

A point is plotted on a unit grid and its coordinates shown. Drag the point and see the coordinates change.

Next enter coordinates of some plotted points and then reverse the process, plotting points given their coordinates.

Finally students can plot points to create their own picture, write down the coordinates and challenge their partner to replicate the picture.
