Cartesian Grid - Vector from Direction (Angle) (Level 1)

The math topic focuses on understanding and applying the concept of vectors in a Cartesian grid based on given directions. Students are tasked with determining the (x, y) changes corresponding to specified movements indicated by directions such as "Right 1, Up 5" or "Right 3, Up 4." This set of problems helps enhance students' ability to translate directional instructions into coordinate changes within a two-dimensional grid system. Each question provides multiple choice answers, encouraging students to visualize and calculate the correct vector based on the directional cues given.
