Understanding Coordinates: How to Read and Use x and y Values

This guide explains the concept of coordinates used to locate points on a graph or map. Coordinates are presented as ordered pairs of numbers, with the first number indicating movement along the horizontal axis (x-coordinate) and the second indicating movement along the vertical axis (y-coordinate). Example coordinates, such as (1, 6) and (3, 5), demonstrate how to pinpoint locations accurately. Remember: to read coordinates, move across the x-axis first and then up the y-axis. Practice using coordinates with the provided examples.

  1. ( ( 1 6 , (the x coordinate) The first number shows us how many places to move across the horizontal axis. (the y coordinate) The second number shows us how many places to move up the vertical axis. Co-ordinates Coordinates allow us to pinpoint exactly where a point or shape is on a graph or map. Coordinates are written in brackets separated by a comma, like this (1, 6). They are an ‘ordered pair’ of numbers which means the order in which they are written is important.

  2. Co-ordinates ( ( 1 6 , When reading coordinates the first number should be read from the horizontal axis. The second number should be read off the vertical axis.

  3. ( ( 1 6 , Remember - across then up.

  4. (3, 5) Remember - across then up.

  5. (6,2) Remember - across then up.

  6. Co-ordinates y x (Remember x is a-cross.) (0,0)

  7. Co-ordinates Remember - across then up. Also remember the brackets.

  8. Now it's your turn.

  9. Across then up. Remember
