Meet the coordinate grid

Coordinate grid with labelled x-axis, y-axis, origin, point A at (4,-2), and point B at (-1,3), with arrows showing x first then y second

A coordinate grid uses two perpendicular axes to show exact positions. The horizontal axis is the x-axis. The vertical axis is the y-axis. They meet at the origin, (0,0)(0,0)(0,0).

Step-by-step lessons covering AQA GCSE Maths Coordinates for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Build fluency with number, ratio and algebra first, since geometry, probability and statistics topics rely on them, and leave extra time nearer the exam for Higher-tier problem-solving and multi-step reasoning questions.
