Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Construct a grid coordinate system that uses coordinates to locate positions within a space; use coordinates and directional language to describe position and movement.
What this means
Students can make a co-ordinate grid system, read coordinates and use them (e.g., in Battleships). Note: only the first quadrant is used in Year 5.
- This is the first mention of a grid coordinate system.
- Grid Coordinates refer to a specific point on a grid.
- Coordinates are read horizontally (x-axis) then vertically (y-axis).
