Teaching guide

What students learn

Build a grid coordinate system and use coordinates and direction words to describe position and movement.

How to teach it

Plot and read points as (across, up), x before y, starting from the origin. Extend to four quadrants and describe moves and reflections.

Worked example
Which quadrant is the point (1, 1) in? Answer 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Answer: 1
Why: x is positive, y is positive

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Reversing the coordinates (up before across) and mis-signing points in the negative quadrants.
