 Aim
• To plot coordinates to draw polygons.

Success Criteria
• I can label the x-axis and y-axis.
• I know that a coordinate is represented by two numbers in brackets, separated by a comma.
• I can read a coordinate correctly by going along then up.

Sheepdog Championship
How to play:

•Take it in turns to take a card

from the pile.

•Plot the coordinates written

on the card on the game
board.

•Count the number

of sheep you have rounded
up.

•The winner is the player

who rounds up the most
sheep.
