Coordinates in Four Quadrants
Negative numbers on a grid, and always reading x before y.
What this lesson covers
Coordinates in Four Quadrants is a 10-part Class 6 Mathematics lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
The horizontal axis is the x-axis; the vertical one is the y-axis. They cross at the origin, (0, 0). Extending both axes into negative numbers divides the grid into four quadrants.
