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

This math topic focuses on interpreting Cartesian coordinates, specifically understanding the meanings of given values within point coordinates on a Cartesian grid. The problems present various coordinates where students must determine if a given value represents the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate, and whether it is positive or negative. Each question presents a coordinate point and asks what a specific number in that coordinate signifies, providing multiple choice answers regarding its relationship to the axes.
