Coordinates locate a point on a grid as (across, up); the Cartesian plane extends this to four quadrants with negatives.

In class: Plot and read points as (across, up), x before y, starting from the origin. Extend to four quadrants and describe moves and reflections.

This Grade 6 coordinate plane set is free to print or save as a PDF, and its answer key is computed in code, so it is never wrong.
