KS2 Primary Maths Age 9-13 - Geometry: Coordinates - Explained

The video tutorial explains the concept of vertices and quadrilaterals, focusing on how to plot coordinates on a grid to form a quadrilateral. It guides the viewer through the process of completing a quadrilateral by plotting given coordinates and using a ruler to join them, emphasizing the importance of accuracy in geometry.

What is a quadrilateral?

• A shape with six sides

• A shape with four sides

• A shape with five sides

• A shape with three sides

What does the coordinate 1/5 represent on a grid?

• Move 1 unit up and 5 units along

• Move 5 units up and 1 unit along

• Move 1 unit along and 5 units up

• Move 5 units along and 1 unit up

How do you plot the coordinate 1/3?

• Move 3 units along and 1 unit up

• Move 1 unit along and 3 units up

• Move 3 units along and 1 unit down

• Move 1 unit along and 3 units down

What is the position of the third vertex?

• -3/4

• 1/5

• 5/4

• 1/3

What tool is recommended to join the vertices of a quadrilateral?

• A protractor

• A set square

• A compass

• A ruler
