Solving Coordinate Problems with Identical Shapes (11+ Maths Problem-Solving)

Can you find the missing coordinates of point A? 🧩

In this video, we tackle a common 11+ geometry puzzle involving three identical rectangles. To solve this, students need to combine their knowledge of coordinates with spatial reasoning to figure out the dimensions and orientation of each shape.

In this lesson, we break down:

Finding Dimensions: How to use the given coordinate (-2, -4) to calculate the width and height of a single rectangle.

Orientation & Patterns: Identifying which rectangles are standing vertically (tall) and which are lying horizontally (wide).

Step-by-Step Calculation: How to “build” the path to point A by adding the heights and widths of the stacked rectangles.

At Singapore Maths Academy, we teach students to visualise the problem before calculating. This method is essential for solving multi-step problems found in the 11+, GL Assessments, and independent school entrance exams.
