Describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a treasure map with a grid of squares. We use two numbers to say exactly where the treasure is! 🗺️

  2. 2

    On a map, which direction do you check first?

  3. 3

    Let's find the treasure at (3, 2) together. 📍

  4. 4

    Drag the treasure chest to the point (4, 1). 🧭

  5. 5

    What point is at (2, 3)? (Remember: right first, then up.)

  6. 6

    Now try (5, 2) — drag the flag there! 🚩

  7. 7

    You start at 0, go right 4, then up 1. What are the coordinates?
