PRESSES MIN/O[P 192 >18 Position and direction Coordinates make it possible for us to communicate about the position of places and objects. A playground is going to be built on the land on this map. It must not be close to the wall or the trees. Where on the land would you recommend building the playground? Give the coordinates of possible places. Why would you build it there? A 10 9n and direction > 18.1 Coordinates and translation NVR Bc) Translation makes it possible to describe the direction something r moves in and how far it moves. In this section you will learn to describe how a shape moves on a grid. Look at this grid. Can you describe how each rabbit can move through the grid to get to the carrot?This shape has been translated 2 squares to the right. Answer: Describe the translation of the shaded shape to the unshaded shape. The shape has been translated 2 squares to the right and 1 square up. 18.1 Coordinates and translation Choose one vertex of the original shape. Count how many squares horizontally (left or right) the vertex moves to its position on the translated shape. Check using another vertex. Choose one vertex of the original shape. Count how many squares vertically (up or down) the vertex has moved to the position of the translated shape. Check using another vertex. 195 >18 Position and direction > Exercise 18.1 1 Y: 196 > Draw a coordinate grid on squared paper with the x-axis and the y-axis labelled from 0 to 5. For each pair of coordinates, write the coordinates of the point that is closer to (0, 0). a (3,0) or (5, 0) b (0, 2) or (0, 4) € (0,2) or (3, 0) d (4,1) or (3, 5) e (2,3) or (3,1) On the coordinate grid, there is a tree at the position with coordinates (2, 4). Sarah is standing at the position (1, 3). Pasha is at the position (3, 1). Who is closer to the tree? The numbers are not labelled on this coordinate grid. The cross marks the position (3, 5). Which letter is closest to the position (4, 2)? y 0 x a Estimate the coordinates for the (10, 10) position of letter Z. b Write down what you would say to convince your partner that your estimate is correct. Discuss your answer with your partner. How could you or your partner improve your estimates? Alternatively, how could you make your argument more convincing? a x18.1 Coordinates and translation 5 (1,3), (1, 2) and (4, 2) are the coordinates of three vertices of a rectangle.

Label this shape ‘1’. Choose a number of squares to translate your shape horizontally and a number of squares to translate your shape vertically. Translate the shape. Translate the new shape by the same number of squares horizontally and vertically. Continue translating each new shape to make a pattern. Challenge your partner to identify the translation you have used to make your pattern. Look at other learners’ patterns and identify and describe the translations they have used. You are characterising when you identify and describe the translations. Look what I can do!18.1 Coordinates and translation Check your progress
