Cartesian Grid - Meaning of Y Coordinate (indicator) (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on understanding the meaning of the y-coordinate in a Cartesian grid. Each problem presents a point's coordinate and asks what the value of either the x or y coordinate signifies about that point's location on the grid. The options provided in multiple-choice format allow learners to distinguish between positive and negative values and identify whether the value pertains to the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate. This helps in reinforcing the foundational knowledge of Cartesian coordinates by interpreting and identifying coordinates in a two-dimensional space.
