Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Teach integers and coordinates with this complete teaching bundle. Students use positive and negative integers in real-world contexts, represent values on number lines, and locate, plot and interpret coordinates across all four quadrants of the Cartesian plane.

Combining a lesson plan, 30-slide editable teacher presentation and three differentiated student activities, this curriculum-aligned bundle provides a complete sequence for teaching integers and coordinates.

Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, students move from explicit teacher modelling to guided practice and independent application. They explore contexts such as elevation and sea level before applying their understanding to the Cartesian plane, using the x-axis, y-axis, origin and four quadrants to locate and interpret coordinates.
