This math topic helps students identify and name the positive and negative directions of the X and Y axes on a Cartesian grid. Each question presents a Cartesian grid with one axis highlighted, and the learners are tasked with choosing the correct name and direction (positive or negative) of the highlighted axis from multiple choices. This set of problems is designed to strengthen foundational understanding of the Cartesian coordinate system.
