Working in the Cartesian plane
What are we learning?
Work with coordinates in all four quadrants
Identify and draw lines that are parallel to the axes
Recognise and use the line y=x
Recognise and use lines of the form y=kx
Link y=kx to direct proportion problems
Explore the gradient of the line y=kx (H)
Recognise and use lines of the form y=x+a
Explore graphs with negative gradient (y=-kx, y=a-x, x+y=a)
Link graphs to linear sequences
Plot graphs of the form y=mx+c
Explore non-linear graphs (H)
Find the midpoint of a line segment (H)
