Describing the position of a point and shape across 4 quadrants using coordinates

Describing the position of a point and shape across 4 quadrants using coordinates

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. In this lesson, we will investigate an extended y axis to allow for negative y values, and then take a look at coordinates in all 4 quadrants.
