Coordinates on a 2-D Grid - Worksheet

In a set of teaching resources for mathematics, there is a worksheet focused on understanding coordinates within a two-dimensional grid. The worksheet provides a list of objects placed on a grid, each with a specific location that students are required to identify in terms of coordinates. Each object's position is denoted by an ordered pair, representing its horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) location on the grid. The worksheet aims to help students practise finding and writing down the coordinates of various points, enhancing their grasp of spatial awareness and numerical representation in a Cartesian plane.

The second worksheet delves deeper into the world of coordinates by challenging students to plot given points on a grid and then connect them to form shapes. The exercise is designed to test students' ability to accurately place points and to recognize the shapes they create. Once the coordinates are plotted and connected in the order given, students are tasked with identifying the name of the resulting shape, such as a triangle, rectangle, square, or pentagon. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of coordinates but also integrates geometry by associating coordinate points with specific geometric figures. Answers are provided to ensure students can check their work and confirm the shapes they have created.
