Cartesian Grid - Vector from Direction (Angle) (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on understanding vectors in a Cartesian grid setting by determining the (x, y) changes based on given directional movements. Each question presents a direction, such as "Right 5, Up 2," and students are asked to identify the correct coordinate changes from multiple-choice options. This set of problems helps students learn to translate directional language into Cartesian coordinates, practicing the conversion of spatial descriptions into mathematical expressions, enhancing their abilities to navigate and visualize grid-based vectors.
