In this activity, we will plot points on a set of x and y-coordinate axes, and connect the points to form simple shapes.
We will need to know the following shapes:
isosceles triangle, right-angled triangle, square, rectangle, parallelogram.
Remember that the x-coordinate is plotted before the y-coordinate.
Let's try an example question together!
Example
Join (1, 1) to (2, 8)
Join (2, 8) to (4, 8)
Join (4, 8 ) to (3, 1)
Join (3, 1) to (1, 1)
Which shape has been drawn?
Answer
We have drawn a parallelogram.
For this activity, it would be helpful to draw out a grid so that you can plot the points and join them up yourself.
So, why not go and collect a pencil, paper and ruler and start the questions when you're ready?
