    Naming and plotting coordinates in all four quadrants

    Lesson presentations and activities

    • This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on co-ordinates in all quadrants.

      To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm

      Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:

      1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
      2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
      3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities
      4) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
      5) Students can create their own as an extension task

      I hope you and your students enjoy them.

      Great task from the legendary Mr Barton where pupils have to put coordinates into each section of a Venn diagram, so each region is satisfied. Can lead to great discussion about what coordinates would go where and in some cases, why a region cannot be filled!

    • Have a play around with this task, and please share any questions, extensions, simplifications, modifications, or lines of inquiry in the comment box below. The idea is to collect loads of suggestions that can then be used for effective differentiation. The full set of these tasks, along with additional notes, can be found here: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/richtasks.htm

      Very nice rich task from the legendary Mr Barton where students investigate coordinates relating to squares, and have to note any patterns they notice. This task could easily be extended to other shapes such as triangles or quadrilaterals and allow students to pose and answer their own problems.

      If you know the co-ordinates of two adjacent corners, investigate how can you find the other two?

      If you know the co-ordinates of two opposite corners, investigate how can you find the other two?

      How can we construct a square when we are given the centre and one corner?

      Do these all work if some of the co-ordinates are negative?

      Can you use a vectors approach?

      How about an algebraic approach?

      From NRICH:
      Decide whether any of the collections of points below form a square.
      If so, which ones?
      Can you do this without plotting the points on a grid?

      1. (8,3), (7,8), (2,7), (3,2)
      2. (3,3), (7,4), (8,8), (4,7)
      3. (16,19), (18,22), (21,20), (19,17)
      4. (4,20), (21,19), (20,2), (3,3)

      Explain how you decided.

      Extend this investigation into rectangles

      How about other quadrilaterals?

      If you are given three coordinates, work out how to determine if they will define a right angle.

      Can you work out the areas of each of your squares?

    • Building on prior knowledge of finding the midpoint in 2D, this lesson is on finding the coordinates of any point in 3D with more able pupils progressing on to finding the midpoint in 3D. Resources adapted from Psholl, Jmillsdadson, Ben Cooper and NCETM. Includes starter (print double sided),hint sheet), rich activity, 3D grid templates and extension questions. Please Rate

    • 3 worksheets on 3D coordinates where x and y axes remain in the same position as 2D. Variety of questions increasing in difficulty as they progress. Worksheets incorporate other topics such as area, volume, Pythagoras and trigonometry.

      Answer sheets scanned in too.
