Understanding the Coordinate Plane

In this video tutorial, Oliver and his pilot friend Crush introduce the concept of the coordinate plane, explaining its components such as the x-axis and y-axis. They focus on the first quadrant, teaching how to graph coordinate points, also known as ordered pairs. The tutorial includes examples and a rhyme to help remember the process: 'X before y, run before you fly.' The video concludes with a practice session and a farewell from Crush, who is off to the Atlantic Ocean.
