Welcome to our X and Y Axes adventure! We will learn about how to find things on a map using numbers. The X-axis goes across (left to right), and the Y-axis goes up and down. Let's practice!
1. Look at the numbers on the line below. The horizontal line is the X-axis.
What number is circled on the X-axis?
2. Imagine a line going straight up. That is the Y-axis. The X-axis goes side to side.
Draw an arrow pointing to the right and label it 'X-axis'. Draw an arrow pointing up and label it 'Y-axis'.
Fill in the blank with X-axis or Y-axis.
3. The line that goes across (left to right) is called the .
4. The line that goes up and down is called the .
5. Look at the grid below. The first number tells you where to go on the X-axis (across). The second number tells you where to go on the Y-axis (up).
Put a star on the dot that is at (2, 3).
Put a circle on the dot that is at (4, 1).
6. Which axis tells you how far to go up?
X-axis
Y-axis
Both
Neither
7. If you are at (1, 2) on a grid, and you want to move to (3, 2), which way do you move? (Across or Up/Down)
