Maths- positions in the first quadrant

1. Esme says that the coordinates for the green circle are (18, 16). Is she

correct? Explain why.

2. Write the coordinates of all the marked points on the grid.

3. Each point moves 2 squares up. Write the new coordinates for each point.

4. Look at the shape drawn on the grid below. Write the coordinates of the

vertices of the shape.

5. Look at the shape drawn on the grid below. Write the coordinates of the

vertices of the shape.

6.

7. Create a quadrilateral that shares coordinates with the triangle on the

grid below. The shapes cannot overlap.

Once complete, repeat the step so that another triangle shares one of

the coordinates with the quadrilateral.

Investigate how many times you could repeat this process before you run

out of space on the grid.

8. Ethan is playing a game. He starts at the coordinates (0, 0) and must

reach (14, 18). He must make seven different moves and is only allowed to

travel vertically and horizontally on the grid lines. Explore the different

routes that would work.

9. True or false? Explain your answer.
