Task goals
- Write the coordinates of a point in (x,y) form.

Before
Linear Graphs from Algebraic Rules (Table of Values)
Using tables to explore patterns and graphs
Finding x- and y-intercepts
You are here
Understanding Cartesian plane and co-ordinates
Do
Using tables and graphs in the coordinate plane (showing all four quadrants), and diagrams to recognise the relationship between the ordinal position and its corresponding element in a linear pattern, developing a rule for the pattern in words and making conjectures about further elements in the pattern
