Kayla and Zach are designing a fairground and need to plot where to place the different rides, so Ada teaches them about the x axis and y axis on a coordinate grid. Suitable for teaching maths at ...

A grid with four quadrants can be used to display coordinates with positive and negative numbers. Coordinates are always written like this (2, 3). Coordinates contain two numbers.

In fourth quadrant x coordinate is positive and the y coordinate is negative. Any point can be depicted on the coordinate plane by specifying its perpendicular distances from the x and y coordinates.
