Cartesian Grid - Direction Between Points (Straight) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on practicing the interpretation of directions on a Cartesian grid, specifically determining the straight-line directions between two points. Students get to learn and apply basic navigation within the grid by identifying the correct horizontal (left/right) and vertical (up/down) movements needed to transition from point A to point B directly. Each problem is creatively framed with visual aids of diagrams that represent Cartesian coordinates, making it an interactive learning session aimed at understanding spatial relationships and directionality on grids.
