Meaning of Given Coordinate (no grid) (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on understanding the meaning of given coordinate values on the Cartesian grid without the grid being visually present. Students interpret numerical values within ordered pairs, identifying what each number represents about a point's position in relation to the x and y axes. The questions offer multiple choice answers, asking students to discern whether a value indicates the x or y coordinate and if it is positive or negative. This exercise is designed to strengthen foundational knowledge of the Cartesian coordinate system.
