Coordinates & Graphs
Read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants, translate and reflect points, and use simple functions.
What your child learns
- Read x (across) before y (up)
- Use negative coordinates in four quadrants
- Find rules from tables and the steepness of a line
Example
(3, −2) is 3 right and 2 down from the origin.

Question 1 · Level 1
What are the coordinates of the red point?
- (5, 2)
- (6, 1)
- (7, 1)
- (1, 6)
Show the answer
Answer: (6, 1)
Go 6 across and 1 up: (6, 1).

Question 2 · Level 3
Point (4, 1) moves 3 right and 3 up. Where does it end up?
- (8, 4)
- (1, 4)
- (7, 4)
- (7, −2)
Show the answer
Answer: (7, 4)
x: 4 + 3 = 7; y: 1 + 3 = 4 → (7, 4).

Question 3 · Level 5
Find the rule. Type it as y = …
In (x) 1 2 3 4 Out (y) 5 9 13 17 Show the answer
Answer: 4x+1
y = 4x + 1
Try it at home
Play battleships on squared paper.
Key takeaway
Along the corridor, then up (or down) the stairs.
