Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician? Comment recorded on the s /Indice 'Starter of the Day' page by Busolla, Australia: "Thank you very much for providing these resources for free for teachers and students. It has been engaging for the students - all trying to reach their highest level and competing with their peers while also learning. Thank you very much!" Comment recorded on the 25 June 'Starter of the Day' page by Inger.kisby@herts and essex.herts.sch.uk, : "We all love your starters. It is so good to have such a collection. We use them for all age groups and abilities. Have particularly enjoyed KIM's game, as we have not used that for Mathematics before. Keep up the good work and thank you very much Best wishes from Inger Kisby"		Whose Idea Was This? Did you enjoy doing this 'Coordinates' activity?

Go Maths Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths page is an alphabetical list of free activities designed for students in Secondary/High school. Maths Map Are you looking for something specific?

Max, Australia Tuesday, August 8, 2017 "I would just like to point out that in your section called "First Quadrant", which you advertised that it had questions that consisted of questions from the first quadrant, had questions that involved coordinates that were placed on the axis, which are not technically in the first quadrant. The class got very annoyed and would appreciate you changing this. Thank you." Transum, Tuesday, August 8, 2017 "Thanks for your observation Max. If the first quadrant is the region where both the x and y coordinates are positive then any point on either of the axes should not be included as zero is not a positive number. You are absolutely right. Having realised that I would like to suggest that the inclusion of points on the axes makes the exercise slightly more challenging and worthwhile. I hope you'll agree. Now Levels 1 and 2 are purely first quadrant without zeros and Level 3 contains zeros and fractional coordinates. Thanks again for your comments." Transum, Monday, December 10, 2018 "Some people have trouble remembering what the two numbers in a set of coordinates represent. They could be thought of as the route to the point from the origin. The first number is the x-coordinate and tells you how many units you go across to the right (negative numbers move you to the left). The second number tells you how many to move up (negative numbers move you down). The following saying helps you remember the order of the coordinates: Along the corridor then up the stairs. " Greg, Wales Monday, August 26, 2019 "Excellent resource, I use it all of the time! The only problem is that there is too much good stuff here!!" AJ, UAE Sunday, March 10, 2024 "Why do we need to write (5,6) instead of 56? [Transum: Using this format helps distinguish between the two distinct values that define a point's location in space. If we were to write 56 instead of (5,6), it would not only contradict standard mathematical notation but could also lead to confusion, as 56 could be interpreted as a single number rather than a pair of coordinates.] " Do you have any comments?
