Maths : Co-ordinates

Continuation of work on co-ordinates in 4 quadrants

Students were presented with an exercise in which shapes were drawn by plotting co-ordinates then joining them using straight lines

On completion of the exercise students were charged with reverse engineering the worksheet to understand how to create one of their own

Shapes were drawn onto a grid
The positions of vertices were plotted for each shape and recorded
The grid was emptied leaving only co-ordinates
