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
