Welcome to the second of our Medium Eleven Plus maths quizzes on position. In the first we learned where coordinates lie on the x and y axes, and also which quadrant they are in. This one gives you more opportunity to practice placing them.
There are four quadrants on a graph:
- The first quadrant has positive x and y coordinates
- The second quadrant has negative x coordinates but positive y coordinates
- The third quadrant has negative x and y coordinates
- The fourth quadrant has negative x coordinates but positive y coordinates
Try to remember these if you can. They’ll make your maths tests so much easier!
Now, on with the quiz. Good luck!
