Cartesian Grid - Meaning of X Coordinate (no indicator) (Level 4)

This math topic involves interpreting the x and y coordinates in the Cartesian plane from given images. Students answer questions by identifying what a specified numerical value in a point's coordinates indicates, whether it represents the x-value or the y-value, and whether it is positive or negative. The focus is on foundational understanding of how points are represented on a Cartesian grid without indicators, enhancing skills in analyzing and understanding two-dimensional space through visual examples. Each problem presents a point and requires selecting the correct explanation of what the coordinates signify.
