This unit is designed to teach students the basics of the cartesian coordinate system, first in a single quadrant, and then in all 4.
Locate points in the 4 quadrants of a Cartesian plane; describe changes to the coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane
Introduce the Cartesian coordinate system using all four quadrants
Introduce the Cartesian coordinate system using all four quadrants
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions
Selects and applies appropriate problem- solving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations
Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another
Analyses and creates geometric and number patterns, constructs and completes number sentences, and locates points on the Cartesian plane
Applies an understanding of place value and the role of zero to represent the properties of numbers
Compares and orders decimals up to 3 decimal places
Determines percentages of quantities, and finds equivalent fractions and decimals for benchmark percentage values
Locates and describes points on a coordinate plane
