Welcome to the Plotting Coordinates Skill Development Page! Here, you will learn how to confidently answer questions just like the sample question shown here.
As this question has 2 parts (a and b) this skill page is set up a little differently. Activity 1 and Activity 2 should look quite familiar, though after these the learning activities are broken down so you can focus on one part at a time.
As with the other skill pages your goal is to be able to complete each quiz with total confidence, and the learning activities are here to help you achieve this. How you use the learning activities will depend on your current knowledge of each skill. You may like to complete all of the activities or just a couple, it’s up to you!
Remember, learning takes time and effort. Invest your time, give your best effort and you will achieve great things!
