Question 1

What are the coordinates of the origin of a Cartesian plane?
Show answerHide answer
C
The origin is where the x-axis and the y-axis cross. It is 0 across and 0 up, so it is (0, 0).
For the teacher: Remembering, low difficulty, standard 7.1.1
Textbook p. 215

Question 2

Diagram 1 shows four points on a Cartesian plane. What are the coordinates of point K?
Cartesian plane with K at (3, 4), L at (4, 3), M at (0, 4) and N at (2, 0)
Diagram 1
Show answerHide answer
A
K is 3 units across and 4 units up, so K is (3, 4). (4, 3) is point L.

Question 3

Which point in Diagram 2 is at (0, 5)?
Cartesian plane with P at (5, 0), Q at (2, 2), R at (2, 5) and S at (0, 5)
Diagram 2
Show answerHide answer
D
(0, 5) means 0 across and 5 up, so the point is on the y-axis at height 5. That is S. R is at (2, 5) and P is at (5, 0).
For the teacher: Understanding, low difficulty, standard 7.1.2
Textbook p. 217

Question 4

A bee starts at the origin. It flies 6 units to the right and then 3 units up. What are its coordinates?
Show answerHide answer
B
Across first: 6. Then up: 3. The bee is at (6, 3).

Diagram 3 shows the number of pencils and erasers. What is the ratio of the number of pencils to the number of erasers?
Two blocks for pencils and seven blocks for erasers
Diagram 3
Show answerHide answer
C
There are 2 pencils and 7 erasers. Pencils come first in the question, so the ratio is 2 : 7.

Question 8

There are 90 sweets in 6 similar packets. How many sweets are there in 4 similar packets?
Show answerHide answer
B
1 packet = 90 ÷ 6 = 15 sweets. 4 packets = 4 × 15 = 60 sweets.
