In maths, this week, we are going to revise co-ordinates.
As you don’t have squared paper I’ve included activities were you’ll be reading coordinates and playing games to plot them rather than drawing them.
But first, let’s start with some mental maths:
Mental Starter: 💫
Please completer Q1-Q16 in your jotter.
Remember: product means multiply and quotient means divide
Activities: I can give the coordinates of points on a map. 🤔
Watch this clip from BBC Bitesize to remind us about co-ordinates.

Now, try and give the coordinates for each city 🌃.
*Challenge* 🧠
From which places on the map is the first coordinate more than the second coordinate?
Plenary: 💭
On Sumdog, you should find some skills for coordinates to try. You have until Wednesday night to complete them.
