Cartesian Grid - Meaning of Y Coordinate (no grid) (Level 4)

This math topic centers around understanding the meaning of x and y coordinates on a Cartesian grid, without using a visible grid. This aims to strengthen foundational skills in interpreting the y-coordinate of a point. Each question presents a point's coordinate and requires students to identify what a specified numerical value represents, whether it refers to the x or y coordinate and whether it is negative or positive. The exercises ensure learners can interpret coordinates directly, a crucial step in mastering concepts of Cartesian planes.
