Reading the coordinate plane: the x-axis, the y-axis, the origin at (0, 0), and naming a point by its ordered pair.

Start at the origin. Count across the x-axis for the first number, then up for the second. Write them in parentheses: (across, up).
Watch for: Swapping the numbers: writing (9, 5) for a point 5 across and 9 up. Starting the count at 1 instead of at 0. Thinking (3, 7) and (7, 3) are the same point.
At home: Draw a grid and hide a “treasure” at a point. Your child guesses ordered pairs, and you give hints: more across, or more up?
