Elaborations
- • Elaboration understanding that the Cartesian plane provides a graphical or visual way of describing location with respect to a fixed origin
- • Elaboration understanding that the axes are number lines that can have different scales, including fractions and decimals, depending on purpose
- • Elaboration understanding that the horizontal coordinate is written first and is changed if there is a move to the left or right, whereas a move up or down will change the vertical coordinate
- • Elaboration using the Cartesian plane to draw lines and polygons, listing co-ordinates in the correct order to complete a polygon
- • Elaboration exploring how coordinates can be used to input positional data for artificial intelligence systems to locate positions in an image or other two-dimensional space
- • Elaboration investigating and connecting land or star maps used by First Nations Australians with the Cartesian plane through a graphical or visual way of describing location
