Cartesian Grid - Meaning of X Coordinate (no indicator) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding the meaning of the x and y coordinates on the Cartesian grid, specifically determining whether a given value corresponds to an x or y coordinate and whether the value is positive or negative. It involves identifying and interpreting points plotted on the Cartesian plane without direct indication of the coordinates' axes. The exercises require students to analyze various points on the grid and ascertain the possible meanings of coordinates based on their position relative to the grid's origin, enhancing foundational knowledge of the Cartesian coordinate system.
