Orienting Yourself: The Use of Coordinates Mind Map

Use this learning tree to open the right concept in the right order. Start with a branch, expand it, then move into the concept page you need next.

Coordinates are numbers used to locate the exact position of a point with respect to a fixed reference line or fixed axes.

When a question asks for location on a plane, write the ordered pair clearly and keep the order of the two numbers unchanged.

Coordinates in real-world situations use ordered numbers to describe positions on maps, screens, seating plans, games, and navigation systems.

In word problems, identify the reference point and scale before using coordinates or distances.
