This math topic focuses on understanding the Cartesian grid, specifically interpreting the meaning of the 'x' coordinate within a coordinate point. The problems require identifying whether a numerical value in a point's pair (x, y) indicates a horizontal position (x) or a vertical position (y), and whether the value is positive or negative. Each question provides a coordinate point, and students must select the correct explanation of what a specific number in the coordinate pair represents. This is a foundational exercise in the broader unit of Cartesian Grid Foundations.
