Our Objectives Describe and find the position of a square on a grid of squares. Recognise simple examples of horizontal and vertical lines. Recognise positions and directions, e.g. describe and find the position of a point on a grid of squares where the lines are numbered.

Draw an 8 x 8 grid on squared paper. Group1 Draw an 8 x 8 grid on squared paper. Plot the following coordinates on the board: (0,5), (2,3), (4,1), (5,0). Join the points with a ruler. What word do we use to describe the line you’ve drawn? Groups 2 and 3 Use the 8 x 8 grid. Plot the following coordinates on the board: (0,5), (2,3), (4,1), (5,0). Join the points with a ruler. What word do we use to describe the line you’ve drawn?

What other points lie on this diagonal line? (0,5) (2,3) (4,1) (5,0) 8 7 6 5 X 4 X This is a diagonal line. 3 X 2 X What other points lie on this diagonal line? 1 X (3,2) X 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (1,4)

Over to you... Group1 Groups 2 and 3 Draw an 8 x 8 grid on squared paper. Plot 3 corners of a square. Give your grid to a friend. Can they tell you the coordinate for the last corner of the square? Do more squares. Groups 2 and 3 Use the 8 x 8 grid. Plot 3 corners of a square. Give your grid to a friend. Can they tell you the coordinate for the last corner of the square? Do more squares.

What are these coordinates? 8 7 X (5,7) 6 What shape would be drawn if these coordinates were joined together? 5 4 X (2,4) 3 X (7,3) 2 1 A triangle! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
