Locating Points in Space: Reading Coordinates on a Coordinate Plane

This lesson teaches how to locate points in space using a coordinate plane. It explains the structure of the coordinate plane, including the x and y axes and the origin. The lesson covers how to plot points using ordered pairs and emphasizes the importance of the x then y format. It also addresses common mistakes in naming points and provides examples of locating points from the origin.

Explain the common mistake people make when naming points on the coordinate plane.

What are the coordinates of the school if it is located on the y-axis?
