Work through the levels in order. Type your answer and press Check — open the worked solution if you get stuck. Answers like -6, 3/4 or 0.25 are typed exactly as shown.
Level 1 · Warm-up
1 Write the coordinates of the origin. (as coordinates, x then y)
Show worked solution
No movement across and none up, so the origin is (0, 0).
2 A point is 4 units right and 2 units up from the origin. Write its coordinates. (as coordinates, x then y)
Show worked solution
Across 4 then up 2 gives (4, 2).
3 Which quadrant contains the point (3, 5)? (write 1, 2, 3 or 4)
Show worked solution
Right and up is the top-right corner, the 1st quadrant.
Level 2 · Core
4 Which quadrant contains the point (−5, 2)? (write 1, 2, 3 or 4)
Show worked solution
Left and up is the top-left corner, the 2nd quadrant.
5 A point is 3 units left and 6 units down from the origin. Write its coordinates. (as coordinates, x then y)
Show worked solution
Left 3 gives x = −3 and down 6 gives y = −6, so (−3, −6).
6 The point (0, 4) sits on one of the axes. Which one?
Show worked solution
With x = 0 the point stays on the vertical axis, so it is on the y-axis.
Level 3 · Challenge
7 Which quadrant contains the point (2, −9)? (write 1, 2, 3 or 4)
Show worked solution
Right and down is the bottom-right corner, the 4th quadrant.
8 Point A is at (−3, 2). Point B is directly below A, sitting on the x-axis. Write the coordinates of B. (as coordinates, x then y)
Show worked solution
B keeps the x-value of A and sits on the x-axis, so B is (−3, 0).
9 Three corners of a square are (1, 1), (4, 1) and (4, 4). Write the coordinates of the fourth corner. (as coordinates, x then y)
Show worked solution
The fourth corner shares its x-value with (1, 1) and its y-value with (4, 4), so it is (1, 4).
