Support Identify that, in three dimensions, all points on the xy -plane have a z -coordinate of 0, and deduce similar properties for points on the xz and yz -planes and thus the equations of the three coordinate planes

Resources for the prerequisite content of this dot point: earlier-stage (or earlier sub-level) dot points in the same strand that students usually need first. Use these to fill gaps before or alongside the core lesson.

Prerequisite links are draft mappings generated from the syllabus structure (earlier stage, same strand, closest content). They are being reviewed by teachers. Spot a poor match? Tell us.
