Cartesian Grid - Direction from Coordinates (Angle) (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on determining directions and angles on a Cartesian grid by analyzing the coordinate changes between two points. It involves calculating the directional moves (left, right, up, and down) from an initial point (A) to a final point (B) on the grid, based on their x and y coordinates. Students practice interpreting these coordinates to find the specific directional path between points, such as determining how many units to move left or right (changes in the x-coordinate) and how many units to move up or down (changes in the y-coordinate). Each problem presents multiple-choice options for possible paths.
