2.1 Coordinate Geometry

In this unit, you’ll learn

• Skills related to coordinates and lines on graphs

• How to apply these skills to solve problems. 

These skills are needed for our first standard, but are useful for most of the rest of the learning in 2MAT.

I can read coordinates

I can find midpoints and distances between two coordinates.

I can find the gradient between two points, and the equation of the line that connects them

I can find out if three coordinates lie on a single line, i.e. are collinear.

I can find perpendicular gradients and the equation of a line that bisects another line.

I can find the coordinates 

I can describe the features of a variety of shapes, including types of quadrilaterals

I can calculate the area of a variety of shapes, including types of quadrilaterals

I can prove that the shape formed by coordinates is a particular shape.
