This math topic focuses on identifying the axes of a Cartesian grid, both by naming the axis (X or Y) and determining its direction (positive or negative). It consists of a series of questions where a particular axis is highlighted on a Cartesian grid, and learners must choose the correct name and direction from multiple choices presented. This topic is part of the broader unit on Cartesian Grid Foundations and is designed to develop foundational understanding of the Cartesian coordinate system.
