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 OCR GCSE Maths Coordinates for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in the written papers 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.
