11+ Coordinates & Graphs Online Tests
Coordinates describe a position on a grid using a pair of numbers, and the 11+ expects confidence in all four quadrants, including negative values. Graph questions then ask a child to read information from a plotted line.
The order of the pair is the thing to fix first: across before up, always. Beyond plotting and reading, expect translations and reflections, midpoints of a line, completing a shape when three vertices are given, and conversion graphs such as miles to kilometres.

What these Coordinates & Graphs tests cover
- Plotting and reading coordinates in all four quadrants
- Negative coordinates
- Completing a rectangle or square from given vertices
- Translating and reflecting shapes on a grid
- Finding the midpoint of a line segment
- Reading conversion graphs and simple line graphs
Coordinates & Graphs: tips that earn marks
- Across the hall and up the stairs: the x coordinate comes first, then y. Nearly every lost mark in this topic is a reversed pair.
- For a midpoint, average the two x values and average the two y values.
- When completing a rectangle, plot the three given points first. The fourth is then obvious from the shape rather than from calculation.
- On a conversion graph, draw a faint line across from the axis and down to the other. Reading by eye alone invites error.
Questions parents ask about Coordinates & Graphs
Do 11+ papers use negative coordinates?
Yes. All four quadrants are standard for grammar school papers, so children should be comfortable with negative values in both directions.
What is a conversion graph?
A straight-line graph converting between two units, such as pounds and euros or miles and kilometres. You read across from one axis and down to the other.
Are transformations included?
Translations and reflections commonly are. Rotations appear less often and usually only in the harder papers.
