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

This math topic focuses on identifying vectors based on given directions on a Cartesian grid. It involves determining the change in x and y coordinates when moving in specified directions such as up, down, left, and right by varying unit steps. The problems provide multiple choices for the students to select the correct vector corresponding to each direction, enhancing their understanding of two-dimensional vector movements and spatial reasoning within a Cartesian coordinate system.
