A coordinates exit slip for Year 4 maths, with three identical copies per sheet. Pupils find the missing fourth corner of a square plotted at (1, 1), (1, 4) and (4, 1), then translate point A at (3, 2) two squares right and one up, finishing with an emoji check-in. Assesses the England National Curriculum objectives on first-quadrant coordinates and translations.
Geometry - position and direction
“Describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant”
The missing corner question checks pupils can reason with coordinates, not just read them.
Geometry - position and direction
“Describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down”
The second question is a straight translation.
Pupils work out the fourth corner of a square from three plotted coordinates.
Point A at (3, 2) moves 2 right and 1 up; pupils write the new coordinates.
Five emoji options for how the lesson felt.
Exit ticket
One slip each at the end of a coordinates lesson.
