Coordinates
Locate and describe points on a coordinate plane.
O LEVEL MATHEMATICS
Learn how coordinates, lines and curves represent mathematical relationships and help us see how quantities change.
Build your understanding one clear idea at a time.
Locate and describe points on a coordinate plane.
Plot and interpret linear relationships.
Understand steepness and rate of change.
Identify where graphs cross the axes.
Recognise and interpret non-linear relationships.
Read information and solve problems from graphs.
Graphs turn relationships into something we can read and compare.
Temperature and growth can be tracked over time.
Distance-time graphs describe motion and speed.
Costs, income and trends become easier to compare visually.
Patterns and changes become clearer when they are drawn.
CENTRAL IDEA
Graphs show how one quantity changes as another changes, making patterns and trends visible.
YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY
Each lesson builds on the ideas introduced before it.

Open Lesson βTHE STUDYNEST METHOD
Understand the idea before applying the procedure.
Check the axes, scale and labels.
Place each point carefully.
Draw the appropriate line or curve.
Explain what the graph shows.
A graph becomes easier to understand when you read the axes before looking at the line.
