locate points in the 4 quadrants of the Cartesian plane; describe changes to the coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane
Elaborations
understanding that the Cartesian plane provides a graphical or visual way of describing location with respect to a fixed origin
understanding that the axes are number lines that can have different scales, including fractions and decimals, depending on purpose
understanding that the horizontal coordinate is written first and is changed if there is a move to the left or right, whereas a move up or down will change the vertical coordinate
using the Cartesian plane to draw lines and polygons, listing coordinates in the correct order to complete a polygon
investigating and connecting land or star maps used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples with the Cartesian plane through a graphical or visual way of describing location
