Stage 20 · Coordinates & First Functions

20.1.2 From the Number Line to the Coordinate Plane

20.1 Pinpointing a Point with Coordinates

Point 2 of 5

20.1.2 From the Number Line to the Coordinate Plane

Core idea

Cross two number lines to make a plus sign: the flat one is the x-axis, the upright one is the y-axis, and they meet at the origin O.

Module goal. Stretch the number line and intervals from last stage out into the plane, and learn how a single pair of numbers can lock down any spot on a flat surface
