Cartesian Grid - Meaning of X Coordinate (indicator) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding the x and y coordinates on a Cartesian grid. Each problem provides a graphical representation of a point on the grid, followed by a question about the meaning of a numerical value in the point's coordinate. Students are asked to determine whether the value represents x or y, and whether it is positive or negative. This practice helps students interpret and analyze points in the Cartesian coordinate system, enhancing their foundational skills in graphing and geometry.
