Cartesian Planes

Students locate an ordered pair in any one of the four quadrants on the Cartesian plane. They assign ordered pairs to given points on the Cartesian plane. They represent transformations in the Cartesian plane. They solve linear equations and graph linear relationships on the Cartesian plane. They find the distance between two points on the Cartesian plane and the gradient and midpoint of a line segment. They sketch linear and non-linear relations.

• Introduce the Cartesian coordinate system using all four quadrants
• Describe translations, reflections in an axis, and rotations of multiples of 90° on the Cartesian plane using coordinates.
• Identify line and rotational symmetries
