We learnt that you need to read or plot the X axis first, then the y axis.   We can remember this by the saying 'a baby learn to crawl before it can walk' or 'along the corridor and up the stairs'.  Can you see us plotting co-ordinates with humans?  We learnt that you can have 4 quadrants too, where you use minus numbers as well as positive numbers.  We used co-ordinates when we learnt about translating a shape.  We gave instructions like 'up 2, left 4' to translate a shape to a new position on the co-ordinate grid.  Finally, we played battleships.  "I won against Grace," cheered Zak.
