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

This math topic focuses on determining the coordinate changes corresponding to specific directions on a Cartesian Grid, using angles or given directional movements. The problems involve interpreting phrases like "Left 4, Down 2" to calculate the resultant coordinate change in the form (x, y). Each problem provides multiple-choice responses, where students must identify the correct coordinate changes based on the described movement, reinforcing their understanding of the Cartesian coordinate system and vector notation from angles or direction descriptions.
