Reading Coordinates on a Map

What is a coordinates

• Coordinates are ordered pairs of numbers; the first number number indicates the point on the x axis and the second the point on the y axis. When reading or plotting coordinates you always go across first and then up (a good way to remember this is: 'across the landing and up the stairs').

• Theyre points that show you where something is on a map or graph by using numbers or letters.

• Theyre numbers.

• Theyre numbers only used for number planes and cartisian planes.
