Shape & Space Week 3

Co-ordinates

Co-ordinates: a pair of numbers that show an exact position. They are usually written in brackets with a comma between the two numbers like this: ( 2, 6)

 

The first number (on the x axis) shows the distance along, and the second number (on the y axis) shows the distance up.

 

Examples

On the worksheets below, remember to always start with the x axis (going across the bottom) first. In these examples the x axis has letters, and the y axis has numbers. Letters first, then numbers.
