The other day I created a couple of co-ordinates images for the 11+ course, which I thought I’d share since it’s the end of term, I thought I’d do something a bit more creative.
To plot the co-ordinates, take the first number, that tells you have far to across you go. The second number tells you how far up to go. We were taught: along the corridor and up the stairs.
Once you get to that point draw a little dot. Next, repeat the steps and plot the second point. Now join these 2 points up. Continue each section until you completed the image. Then you can colour it in if you choose.
I apologise my drawing skills are not my strong point, but I hope the shapes (a turtle and an elephant) are recognisable and you enjoy the task regardless.

Our goal at Clara James Tutoring is to make learning fun and accessible to everyone. If children are engaged in what they are doing they are more likely to want to participate, if they are enjoying it, they are more likely to relax and retain the information.
If you have a child who enjoys learning through games and being more creative, and you enjoy spending time with them, you might be interested in the Clara James Approach, the membership group we have put together to support you in supporting your primary school aged child with their maths and English.
