If you join up the points A (-6, -3), B (-6, -5), C (-4, -5), D (-4, -3) with straight lines you will get a square that lies in a certain quadrant. If the square is rotated anticlockwise through 90° about the point (0, 0), which quadrant will it end up in and what will its new coordinates be?

To get all the questions right you will need to understand the number of degrees in a complete rotation, a half rotation, a quarter rotation and an eighth of a rotation. You’ll also need to know all about where coordinates are placed on a graph and the difference between x and y axis, as well as the four quadrants. Map directions are given using bearings. Some people use a 'thumb compass' when reading maps. These are very basic compasses that normally only show magnetic north. They are used in orienteering. But if a compass is held over a map, how can people read what is underneath the map?... Show more
