Cartesian Grid - Meaning of X Coordinate (indicator) (Level 4)

This math topic focuses on understanding the Cartesian coordinate system, specifically interpreting the significance of the x-coordinate in given points (illustrated through visual problems). Students are asked to identify whether the numerical values of x-coordinates represent a positive or negative position on the x-axis. Each question provides multiple-choice answers where students must discern whether these values correspond to movement along the x-axis or the y-axis, reinforcing foundational knowledge of Cartesian grid navigation and coordinate interpretation.
