Coordinates - Worksheet

In this worksheet designed to teach students about coordinates, the primary task is to identify the position of various points on a grid using the coordinate system. The first section asks students to determine the coordinates of 'Polly's position' on multiple grids. There are five sets of blank coordinates provided, where students are expected to fill in the correct x (horizontal) and y (vertical) values for each of Polly's locations. This exercise helps students practice reading and writing coordinates in the format (x, y), reinforcing their understanding of how to navigate a grid.

The second part of the worksheet shifts focus to identifying the coordinates of different items depicted below a series of grids. Students are required to observe where each item is placed on the grid and then write down the corresponding x and y values in the provided spaces next to the numbers 1 to 4. Following this, another activity guides students to mark specific coordinates on the grid. A list of points labeled A to E, each with a pair of coordinates, is given. The first point, A (1,3), is already marked on the grid as an example for students. The task is to plot the remaining points B through E at the correct locations. Lastly, the worksheet presents a grid with points A to E already marked, and students must fill in the coordinates that match each labeled point. These exercises are designed to enhance students' skills in both plotting and identifying coordinates, which are fundamental aspects of working with grid systems and maps.
